Papers were presented by participating countries on problems associated with aridity, crop production, marketing, processing, and consumption, with a view to developing a systematic approach to food utilization. Research has been focused on increasing the production and utilization of crops grown in the semi-arid regions to achieve self-sufficiency and improve the nutritional status of the population. Education and production planning are necessary to modify food consumption patterns. Much of the food production, marketing, and processing in Africa is done by women on a small scale. Modernization of these systems is desirable and inevitable but consideration must be given to the social and nutritional implications of these changes. Additional agricultural and credit facilities should be extended to women to encourage their enterprises. Participants called for the preparation of a catalog on the use of various crops for the benefit of researchers. Recommendations were made for further research on problems of food processing, and the development of a methodology to identify consumer food preferences.
