该项目涉及一个研究非洲农业史和人种学的学者和专家讲习班。学者们将举行为期三天的会议，交流信息并制定研究战略，以推进农业如何随时间变化的研究，特别是遥感评估的土地利用变化，以及农民自身代际变化在这一过程中的作用。更广泛的影响：将创造的关于非洲粮食生产性质的新知识将对农业和环境政策制定者和规划者以及该专题的其他学者有价值。

This project involves a workshop of scholars expert in studying African agricultural history and ethnography. The scholars will meet over three days to exchange information and develop research strategies to advance the study of how agriculture changes over time, specifically in land use as assessed by remote sensing, and the role of generational change among farmers themselves in this process. Broader impacts: The new knowledge to be created about the nature of African food production will be valuable to agricultural and environmental policy makers and planners as well as to other scholars of the topic.
