Info
Prepared under the
aegis of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
(FAO), this text presents a fresh and comprehensive look at agricultural
development policy. It provides a clear, systematic review of important
classes of policy issues in developing countries and discusses the emerging
international consensus on viable approaches to the issues.
The text is unique in its coverage and depth and it:
*Summarises hundreds of references on agricultural development policies
*Cites policy experiences and applied studies in more than 70 countries
*Provides guidance for policy makers giving examples of successes and
failures
*Reviews issues related to the formulation of strategies and the requirements
for making them successful
*Develops the conceptual foundations and illustrates policies that have
worked, and some that have not, with explanations
Topics covered include agriculture's role in economic development, the
objectives and strategies of agricultural policy, linkages between macroeconomic
and agricultural policy, policies for the agricultural financial system
and agricultural technology development.
Upper level undergraduates taking courses in Economic Development and
International Development and graduates taking courses in Agricultural
Development, International and Economic Development, Natural Resource
