Description

Rapid structural transformation and urbanization are transforming agriculture and food production in rural areas across the world. This textbook provides a comprehensive review and assessment of the multi-faceted nature of agriculture and rural development, particularly in the developing world, where the greatest challenges occur. It is designed around five thematic parts: Agricultural Intensification and Technical Change; Political Economy of Agricultural Policies; Community and Rural Institutions; Agriculture, Nutrition, and Health; and Future Relevance of International Institutions. Each chapter presents a detailed but accessible review of the literature on the specific topic and discusses the frontiers in research and institutional changes needed as societies adapt to the transformation processes. All authors are eminent scholars with international reputations, who have been actively engaged in the contemporary debates around agricultural development and rural transformation. Review "How do agriculture and rural development practices need to adapt to meet the needs of a world experiencing rapid globalisation and urbanisation? Such a broad but timely question demands in-depth and wide-ranging analysis, and this volume in Earthscan's Food and Agriculture series provides just that." - Spore (the newsletter of CTA), number 185 About the Author Prabhu Pingali is a professor in the Charles H.
