SynopsisDetailing the undocumented work of a pioneering nongovernmental organization that actively supported disadvantaged farmers during a critical period in the country's history, this rare account unveils the agricultural developments that enabled South Africa's transformation into a democratic nation. From its conception in the early 1990s to its untimely demise, this invaluable documentation assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the Land Development Unit (LDU)--evaluating the organization's philosophy and strategy, management, funding, methods used in field projects and public-awareness activities and exploring why the LDU proved to be so vulnerable an institution. Meticulously researched and culturally insightful, this revelatory account is a significant and important footnote in the often overlooked history of independent agricultural development in South Africa.
