by Ambe Emmanuel Cheo e Kugedera Andrew Tapiwa

42,39€ + 10% CARD

Furthermore, the book supports the enhancement of the adaptive capacity and resilience of small-scale farmers since it is critical to reverse the trend in the rise in hunger.<br><br><i>Concise Guides to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals</i> comprises 17 short books, each examining one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
