CTA Publications

The Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA) was a joint international institution of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States and the European Union (EU). CTA resources are now curated and maintained by CABI. Many of those resources are now available here. One example is the 8-page fold-out leaflet Rearing Dairy Goats. This leaflet goes over the basics of providing appropriate care for dairy goats including feeding, breeding, milking, and simple medical diagnosis and treatment. It is a practical, hands-on guide to starting with dairy goats that you may find helpful in your context. A few other titles include:

  • Linking Smallholder Farmers to Markets 
  • Preserving Green Leafy Vegetables and Fruits
  • Rainwater Harvesting for Increased Pasture Production

Many of these documents are available in several languages (mainly French, Kiswahili, and Portuguese). As you browse this collection on ECHOcommunity, available languages for each document are noted just underneath the title.

Medicinal Plants

The valuable medicinal properties contained in certain plants are not, however, in doubt. In recent years, for example, the Chinese plant Artemisia annua, has become the essential ingredient in a new generation of anti-malaria drugs. The plant is now being grown in East African countries to supply pharmaceutical manufacturers in Europe. The bark of the tree Prunus africana is used in making treatments for prostate cancer. Sutherlandia, a native plant of South Africa, is being increasingly recognised for its value to HIV/AIDS sufferers. Other African plants, such as Devil’s Claw and African Geranium, are also gaining popularity as herbal medicines, particularly in Europe.

Medicinal plants therefore represent an important opportunity to rural communities in Africa, as a source of affordable medicine and as a source of income. Governments too need to be thinking about how to promote the benefits that medicinal plants have to offer, which may involve integrating herbal medicine into conventional healthcare systems. This raises important issues, such as regulation of traditional healers and ensuring certain standards are met.

Trench Gardening - 20 Januari 2013

Making a trench bed What do you need to start a garden?

  • Lots of enthusiasm and, in the beginning, some hard work.
  • A piece of ground as little as twenty square metres will ensure that your family always has something fresh to eat; a larger area makes it possible to grow enough vegetables to sell. If you do not have this much space, speak to the people who live around you, find some vacant land and start a community garden. And, if this is not possible, you can try growing vegetables in containers. A few fresh vegetables are better than none at all.
