过去几十年非洲发展的记录令人失望。尽管接受了大量海外援助,贫困和营养不良仍然极为普遍。环境遭到破坏正在敲响警钟。而且,还看不到会有改善的些微迹象。要求增加援助的喊声越来越响,除少数国家外,整个地区更加依赖外部世界。老一套的看法是:欧洲发展农业所使用的高技术方法不适用于非洲。大部分非洲人是仅能维持生存的农民;因此,一般认为,应该发展适当的技术来帮助他们,从而提高粮食产量. The record of Africa’s development over the past few decades has been disappointing. Despite massive overseas aid, poverty and malnutrition continue to be extremely prevalent. The destruction of the environment is ringing the alarm. Also, you can not see any sign of improvement. The calls for more aid are louder and louder, with the exception of a few countries, which depend more on the outside world. The old view is that the high-tech methods used in developing agriculture in Europe do not apply to Africa. Most Africans are farmers who can only survive; therefore, it is generally assumed that appropriate technologies should be developed to help them and thereby increase food production.
