Villages in the Future: Crops, Jobs and Livelihood

Villages in the Future: Crops, Jobs and Livelihood By Joachim von Braun, Detlef Virchow (auth.), Dr. Detlef Virchow, Prof. Dr. Joachim von Braun (eds.)
2001 | 410 Pages | ISBN: 364262703X | PDF | 8 MB


Life in rural communities is bound to change with historically unprecedented speed in the coming decades. How will this change be guided by local, national and global policies in order to enhance the livelihoods of rural inhabitants and to overcome the growing division of rural and urban areas? The contributions in this publication, ranging from scientific papers to short reports from practitioners, are grouped around four major themes: political and institutional frameworks to foster rural development; natural resources management and related actions; broadening the technological base of rural economies; and improved linkages between urban and rural areas. The overall message is unanimous: there is a promising future for the rural areas worldwide if adequate policies can be enforced and more efficient and fair institutions can be created.
