Proceedings of the workshop on land evaluation for extensive grazing (LEEG) [antikvár]

Preface Under the auspicies of the International Society of Soil Science (ISSS) and in close cooperation with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Institute for Aerial Survey and Earth Sciences (ITC) and the International Livestock Centre for Africa (ILCA) organized the international Workshop on Land Evaluation for Extensive Grazing in Addis Ababa from 30 October to 4 November 1983. This Workshop is one of a series dealing with the apphcation of the FAO Framework for land Evaluation for major land utilization types. Past workshops have included land evaluation for rainfed and irrigated agriculture and for forestry, and a future one will be held for conservation and land use planning in sloping areas. The current workshop drew most of its participants from countries where extensive grazing fills a major role in the national economy, with emphasis on developing countries. The organizing committee consisted of Prof Dr. Ir. I.S. Zonneveld (Chairman), Dr. P.N. de Leeuw (liaison with ILCA), Dr. W. Siderius (Secretary) and Dr. H. van Gils and Ir. W. van Wijngaarden (members). The smooth conduct of the Workshop at ILCA's headquarters in Addis Ababa was largely due to the effective cooperation of the staff of ILCA's Training Department, notably Dr. E. Mukasa and Miss Sahlewerk Demessie, and the organizing committee. The publication of these proceedings is the fruit of cooperation between ITC and ILRI. The editor.
