This Issue of African Journal of Rural Development includes seven papers addressing diverse topics: extension service delivery, promoting entrepreneurship in Agri-food Systems, land tenure, vermicomposting, livestock breeding, water harvesting, production of bioethanol from cassava and occurrence of devastating Fusarium wilt disease of bananas in Benin. These studies were conducted in different parts of Sub-Saharan Africa and do provide insights into some of the issues and research being conducted across the continent. More of such research findings need to be disseminated widely using various publication outlets.
