Donkeys for development by Peta Jones 1997 ISBN 0-620-22177-1 168 A5 pages 47 120 drawings and 35 photos
Publication
sponsored by ATNESA and the Agricultural Research Council of South Africa
|
Recent studies have made clear what has been known to farmers for years: that donkey power is crucial to smallholder economy, to help with tillage, transport and thus with reconstruction and development. Donkeys are hardier and stronger than cattle, and work for many more years with little human input besides care and supervision. The last decade has seen a dramatic increase in the academic interest given to donkeys, while at the same time the demand for them, and their price, has risen. This book aims to answer most of the basic questions about donkeys asked by those who need them and work with them, incorporating recent research findings as well as traditional knowledge acquired over the thousands of years that donkeys have worked for humans. Dr Jones has not only worked as a teacher and consultant with donkeys, but herself lives in a remote rural area of Africa where she is dependent on donkeys for all local transport and cultivation. She writes from an awareness of the problems that donkeys can create as well as the problems that they can solve, and the equipment that she recommends and illustrates with numerous drawings and photographs is all within the reach and skills of rural villagers of the developing world.
