In most Developing countries only a small number of new jobs
are available in agriculture. The capital scarcity limits the
number of nonfarm jobs that can be created, because investments
costs per job are high in modern industry. Thus an effective
development policy should seek to increase the labor relative to.,
capital, to the extent that it is economically efficient.

During the last forty years, the economic and demographic structure of Kenya has become increasingly urban. In
the 1980s the urban population in the country grew at over
6.5 percent a year, more than double the rate for the
rural population. This expansion has occurred even under the most adverse conditions of repressed urban
investment, as was the case during the 1990s.

Articles et Livresdécembre, 2009KenyaThis paper presents data on diversity and abundance of soil macrofauna in various land use systems in Taita (natural forest, plantation forest, fallow, coffee, napier, and maize, Horticulture. Each was sampled for macrofauna using three sampling methods (monolith,
transect and pitfall trapping). Seventy eight (78) genera/species were recorded across the different land use systems of Taita. Rényi diversity profile indicated no significant differences in species richness across land use systems as reflected by the very close -

One of the environmental consequences of slash-and-burn farming is the loss of forest system carbon which in turn contributes to atmospheric change and impacts upon global climates. International attention has become focused upon the development of alternatives to slash-and-burn agriculture to alleviate poverty, protect biodiversity and reduce climate change. Before alternative land use systems can be evaluated in terms of carbon sequestration, baseline measurements of carbon dynamics resulting from current practices are required.

Pythium is a water mould fungus which survive as a parasite, saprophyte or both. Pythium
spp. play important ecological services like recycling of both Carbon and mineral
nutrients for continued plant growth. Members of this genus are ubiquitous and found in
soil, water, plants and animal substrate. Spatial distribution and species diversity of
Pythium were studied with aim of determining the effects of intensive agricultural
practices on distribution and diversity. Agricultural intensification interferes with the -
