This volume reports on a six-year research program in sustainable agriculture and natural resource management in one decentralized local government unit in West Africa. It investigates various technological options and decision tools and describes a replicable methodology for building social capital within a rural community. Particular attention was paid to addressing the problem of violent conflict over access to and use of natural resources. Moore is affiliated with Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
