PALGRAVE STUDIES IN AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS AND ...

This book examines the role of agriculture in the economic transformation of developing low-
and middle-income countries and explores means for accelerating agricultural growth and poverty
reduction. In this volume  Mellor measures by household class the employment impact of
alternative agricultural growth rates and land tenure systems  and impact on cereal consumption
and food security. The book provides detailed analysis of each element of agricultural
modernization  emphasizing the central role of government in accelerated growth in private
sector dominated agriculture. The book differs from the bulk of current conventional wisdom in
its placement of the non-poor small commercial farmer at the center of growth  and explains how
growth translates into poverty reduction. This new book is a follow up to Mellor's classic 
prize-winning text  The Economics of Agricultural Development. Listed as a Best Books of 2017:
Economics by Financial Times.
