Abstract
This is an exceptionally thorough treatment of the relations of production and consumption of food among the Igbo. The author deals with land tenure and use, investment resources available to farmers, plant ecology, labor organization, migration and marketing patterns, nutrition, cooking methods, and the social and symbolic contexts of eating and drinking. He seeks a better understanding of kinds of changes which would be both desirable and achievable in a developing economy which requires a larger, more reliable and less seasonal food supply.
