Abstract

123 words

This book is meant for young African scholars; it is a guide for their graduate study which should prepare them for their leadership roles in helping to solve the problems of African farmers. This book is written as a reference and guide to graduate research and the production of their theses. Examples from the continent are used to highlight some of the issues facing the graduate research student. It emphasizes that the student should be aware of the big picture, and to realize that s/he is not operating in isolation. We are all part of a community and indeed of a global world that is changing rapidly and we must learn to adjust in order to cope with the changing needs of society.
