Description
Tales from an Itinerant Agronomist covers a lifelong dedication to systems thinking and learning in agriculture and rural development. It follows the author’s own experiences, based at Universities and within International Aid programmes, developing farm and rural livelihood systems for small scale farming families.
Covering extended time spent at educational and research institutions over the last 60 years; including Trinidad, Tanzania, Botswana, Sudan, Syria, Nepal and Namibia, and short periods in many other countries.
The book looks at cross cutting themes including; the role of animal power in small farm systems, the performance of some agricultural and rural development educational institutions: Leeds University, UWI (Trinidad), University of East Anglia (Norwich,UK), WAU (Netherlands), SLU (Sweden) and a selected analysis of some trends and themes in agricultural research.
Enriched by the inputs and experiences from many different farmers, colleagues and partnerships, Tales From an Itinerant Agronomist is suitable for readers with an interest in agriculture, farming, rural development, the environment and sustainability.

Karen E, Reviewer
This was an interesting read. Each chapter covers the experiences of the author in one geographical area and includes a bit of history of the area as well. While this biography may not speak to everyone and I did find the text a bit dry at times, I also enjoyed many of the authors stories and an glad I had the chance to read it.
Thank you to by Troubador Publishing Limited/Matador and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review.
