"In October 2009, after almost 23 years of collaboration, Agromisa and CTA co-hosted the seminar “The Future of the Agrodok series”. The Agrodok series is a collection of practical handbooks that have been published by Agromisa since the early seventies of the last century and from 2005 copublished with CTA. These Agrodok books treat issues of critical importance for small-scale sustainable agriculture. During the seminar participants discussed several strategies to ensure the comprehensive development of the series and the effective publication and distribution of the Agrodok handbook. Participants included experienced professionals involved in development communication and publishing in Africa and Europe. Discussion focused around content generation, editorial input, handbook design and the use of web2.0 tools to facilitate collaboration between authors and resource persons." (Foreword)
