Distribution of Seeds and Tools in Emergencies (Paperback)

Providing guidelines to those contemplating a seeds-and-tools programme, this book lists the essential information which must be gathered before deciding to implement a programme, and then putting it into operation. The stages are described and methods of distribution compared and evaluated. Technical information on types of seeds and tools, purchase, transport and storage are given, and the importance of involving the recipients, especially women, at every stage, is stressed, as is the need to take a long-term approach to these inventions.
