Dear All
I am seeking references regarding methods used to assess the
sustainability of farm systems.
I am particularly interested in any methods that have been applied in
Sub Saharan Africa, but all references would be gratefully received.
Feel free to email me directly on dan.rigby@man.ac.uk if the list
has been through these issues before!
Thanks for your time,
dan rigby.
