Developing a sustainable agricultural curriculum in malawi

reconciling a colonial legacy with indigenous knowledge and practices

George E. Glasson

pp. 151-164

A profit motive of the colonial system stole respect of nature from the culture of Africans. Animals were hunted and killed with no thought for the future. Bushes were cleared for tea plantations, and a new system of agriculture [was established] based on monoculture. Arable cropping was introduced which later ensured ecological degradation (cited in Glasson et al. 2006, p. 671).
