Book excerpt: Sweetpotato and potato are expanding faster than any other food crops in sub-Saharan Africa. There is growing investment in research to address bottlenecks in value chains concerning these two crops, and growing interest from the private sector in investing in them. This book addresses five major themes on sweetpotato and potato: policies for germplasm exchange, food security and trade in Africa; seed systems; breeding and disease management; post-harvest management, processing technologies and marketing systems; nutritional value and changing behaviours.
Download or read book Potato Production Worldwide written by Mehmet Emin Calıskan and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2022-10-22 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Potato is a crop grown on all inhabited continents of the globe. It is included in the top five crops of the world, used as staple food in several countries, and the number of people daily consuming the potato may surpass one billion. Despite the high quantities of seed potato produced worldwide, there are yield gaps due to challenges such as abiotic stresses, pests, climate change and poor production practices. A region-wide critical analysis of yield declining factors can help formulate management strategies that can improve potato yields. Bridging yield gaps in potato will ultimately ensure the role of this crop in securing current and future food security. Potato Production Worldwide presents information on this global crop from its history, morphology, and taxonomy to the growth and development of the potato crop, including the latest strategies in addressing today’s biotic and abiotic challenges. This book identifies the reasons for yield gaps in various potato production regions of the world, as well as presenting the best production practices, pest management strategies and approaches to deal with climate change from the perspective of potato production. Chapters provide important insights into potato production cultures and approaches in the major potato production countries. Potato Production Worldwide will be a valuable resource for researchers, scientists and students seeking a comprehensive view of successful potato production. Provides comprehensive information on the origin, history, taxonomy, morphology, ecophysiology, growth and development of the potato Addresses production practices, including irrigation, nutrient management, harvesting and post-harvest techniques Explores the impact of Abiotic stresses (drought, chilling, salinity etc.) and their management

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A key challenge facing Kenya is to ensure the food and nutrition security of present and future generations while protecting the country's natural resource base. Kenya's population currently stands at about 40 million and is projected to reach 60 million by the year 2030. Kenya remains a food-deficit country even in bumper harvest years. Discussions of food security in Kenya usually revolve around maize, since the country's food security is overwhelmingly dependent on it, despite a continued structural deficit in maize production. Overall, vulnerability to food insecurity in the country is exacerbated by the absence of substantive diversification in food production and consumption. Annual per capita consumption of maize in Kenya is estimated at 98 kg. That translates into an equivalent overall demand of about 40 million bags every year. Domestic maize production is around 25 million bags, reaching 40 million in a good year. Food prices have generally been on the increase in Kenya in the recent past, owing to a combination of factors, including droughts, global price trends and government policy. The recent high prices of food and fuel are also challenging some of Kenya's macroeconomic fundamentals because they have resulted in higher inflation (estimated at more than 10 percent over the last few years) and contributed to a sharp decline in the foreign exchange rate. Diversifying the country's food base is therefore an important strategy for reducing Kenya's vulnerability to international food price shocks. Additionally, since average arable land per household is shrinking rapidly owing to a combination of rapid population growth and continued urban sprawl, crops that can produce more food, more nutrients and more cash per unit area and time are gaining increasing importance in the quest for solutions to Kenya's perennial food security problems."--Publisher's description.
