Agricultural intensification is placing tremendous pressure on the soil’s capacity to maintain its functions leading to large-scale ecosystem degradation and loss of productivity in the long term. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find early indicators of soil health degradation in response to agricultural management. Our purpose was to review the literature in which a wide perspective of soil quality and the complex task of its assessment, considering the inherent and dynamic factors, are introduced.

The history of development intervention is marked by multiple failures at dialogue between analysts and practitioners; an impasse caused in part by the failure to recon- cile disparate professional languages. In Kenya, where critical thought for this book was generated, a cause célèbre in livestock intensification has been the ill-fated Maasai Project of the 1960s and 1970s. The wider East Africa region too is known for its repeated failures to sustain projects in agricultural extension, water manage- ment, and drought preparedness.

In most of Africa, area expansion has been based on smallholder agriculture in the context of population growth. 2 While countries on the continent range from very land scarce (such as Malawi and Rwanda) to relatively land abundant (such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, and Zambia), large-scale investment has been limited. A key reason for this was that policy distortions against agriculture, especially exports and low public investment in rural areas, have reduced investment incentives, thus limiting the development of Africa’s agricultural potential.
