This book is an effort by FAO to compile an up-to-date, comprehensive

text on rural structures and services in the tropics, focusing on

structures for small- to medium-scale farms and, to some extent,

village-scale agricultural infrastructure. The earlier edition, entitled

Farm structures in tropical climates. A textbook for structural

engineering and design, published in 1986, has been used for over

two decades as a standard textbook for teaching undergraduate and

postgraduate courses on rural structures and services in universities

throughout sub-Saharan Africa.

This second edition will help to improve teaching – at all educational

levels – on the subject of rural buildings in developing countries

of the tropics and it will assist professionals currently engaged in

providing technical advice on rural structures and services, from

either agricultural extension departments or non-governmental rural

development organizations. This book will also provide technical

guidance in the context of disaster recovery and rehabilitation, for

rebuilding the sound rural structures and related services that are key

to development and economic sustainability.

While this book is intended primarily for teaching university- and

college-level agricultural engineering students about rural structures

and services, resources might be made available to produce

textbooks based on this material for teaching at other educational

levels. Although parts of the background material relate specifically

to East and Southeast Africa, the book’s principles apply to the

whole of tropical Africa, Latin America and South Asia because,

while building traditions may vary, the available materials are similar.
