An Interview with Sam Moyo

Amid the economic crisis in Zimbabwe, the agricultural sector continues to struggle.  Although the plunge in agricultural output over the last few years has often been commented on in the Western media, little or no attention is paid to the complex factors contributing to that decline.  Instead, matters are reduced to a simple generalization.  It is rare to be presented with information from someone with direct involvement with the agricultural sector in Zimbabwe.  Sam Moyo has over 25 years of research experience in rural development issues, and his organization has conducted studies and analyses and provided policy recommendations on land policy.  Highly respected in his profession, Moyo is uniquely positioned to offer an evidence-based overview of the situation.
