| Agriculture and Natural Resources - Growth and Poverty
While increasing agricultural productivity perhaps remains the single most important
determinant of economic growth and poverty reduction, serious doubts are emerging
as to whether agricultural productivity can be further increased where it is most
needed. What part, if any, will small-scale farming play in the future. Development
experts need greater understanding of the links between agricultural productivity
and poverty. They also need to assess just how far they have changed and the extent
to which small-scale agriculture can remain a ladder out of poverty for millions
of poor people living in rural areas.  |
