Agricultural Policies for Poverty Reduction
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : BROOKS Jonathan
With more than two-thirds of the world’s poor living in rural areas,
higher rural incomes are a pre-requisite for sustained poverty reduction
and reduced hunger. This volume sets out a strategy for raising rural
incomes which emphasises the creation of diversified rural economies with
opportunities within and outside agriculture. Agricultural policies need
to be integrated within an overall mix of policies and institutional
reforms that facilitate, rather than impede, structural change. By
investing in public goods, such as infrastructure and agricultural
research, and by building effective social safety nets, governments can
limit the role of less efficient policies such as price controls and input
subsidies.
