African countries have achieved rapid economic growth after mid-2000s because of the price escalation of mineral resources at the world market. On the other hand, stagnation of rural economy has led to national-level environmental degradation and energy deficit. Stabilization of livelihood in rural areas is indispensable for solution of the environmental and energy problems. In this seminar, I show the activities related to environmental conservation, food production and activation of rural economy into a practical model of cyclical natural resource use, and point out an importance of holistic approach for rural development in Africa.
