Abstract:

Fellowes A. Mwaisela looks at the negative impact of trade liberalization and structural adjustment measures on food and seed security in Tanzania. He argues that community-based seed multiplication programmes can be a sustainable strategy to foster adoption of improved seed varieties, improve food security at the household level, empower small farmers and give them access to locally adopted crops at all times.Development (2000) 43, 83–87. doi:10.1057/palgrave.development.1110150
