| dcterms.description | By the year 2000, the current projection of the World Health Organization (WHO) is that there will be a cumulative total of 30-40 million HIV infections in men, women and children. WHO estimates that 10 million people have been infected by HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. The disease affects the most productive age group in the population, those between 15 and 49 years of age - a fact which is unique to HIV/AIDS in comparison with other diseases such as malaria or cholera. HIV/AIDS is a medical problem, but has social and economic dimensions as well.
What has AIDS to do with agriculture? is based on a study undertaken by FAO in 1993 and financed by UNDP to assess the impact of HIV/AIDS on agricultural production systems in Uganda, Tanzania and Zambia. The objective of the brochure is to create awareness about the effects of the pandemic on agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa. It describes the impact of HIV/AIDS on crop and animal production and further rural livelihood strategies for small farmers and it presents recommendations for mitigating these effects.
