Beschreibung:
This history of agricultural studies in KwaZulu-Natal over a period of 75 years, from 1934 to 2009, gives a detailed overview of the establishment of formal agricultural studies in the province and focuses on the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. Alumni of "e;AgFac"e;, as it was affectionately known, have made their mark in agricultural research not only in South Africa but also internationally. Today the School of Agricultural Sciences and Agribusiness, which replaced the old "e;AgFac"e;, has extended into the sociological and ecological significance of agriculture for the continent as a whole through its African Centre for Food Security (ACFS), and the African Centre for Crop Improvement (ACCI). Much attention is also being paid to the improvement and popularization of traditionally useful food and craft plants indigenous to Africa.
