Scope:
The Appalachian region and West Africa have striking similarities in terms of their semi-urban economies whose agricultural base is threatened by industrialization and modern capitalist agriculture. The focus of modern agriculture has been on devising innovative methods, sophisticated technology, new crop varieties and agrochemicals to be used in systems that emphasize production yields. Such policies and practices have not always taken into consideration the global environmental, social and economic impact. Consequently, there has been environmental deterioration, contamination of water and food, pollution, loss of biodiversity, and dislocation of the small farmer and the peasant economy and the lack of profitability for the average farmer. This pathfinder is designed as an introduction to the literature and other material about Agriculture in Appalachia/West Africa that is available in the Belk Library or the W.L. Eury Appalachian Collection.
