Book Synopsis Pathways Out of Poverty During an Economic Crisis by : Neil A. McCulloch
Download or read book Pathways Out of Poverty During an Economic Crisis written by Neil A. McCulloch. This book was released on 2016. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most poor people in developing countries still live in rural areas and are primarily engaged in low productivity farming activities. Thus pathways out of poverty are likely to be strongly connected to productivity increases in the rural economy, whether they are realized in farming, in rural nonfarm enterprises, or by way of rural-urban migration. The authors use cross-sectional data from the Central Statistical Board for 1993 and 2002, as well as a panel data set from the Indonesia Family Life Survey for 1993 and 2000, to show which pathways out of poverty were most successful over this period. The findings suggest that increased engagement of farmers in rural nonfarm enterprises is an important route out of rural poverty, but that most of the rural agricultural poor that exit poverty still do so while remaining rural and agricultural. So changes in agricultural prices, wages, and productivity still play a critical role in moving people out of poverty.

Book Synopsis Pathways Out of Poverty During an Economic Crisis by : Neil A. McCulloch

Book excerpt: Development, at its most basic level, is about making poor people less poor. But how do people actually escape poverty? There are few quantitative models that have been tested over significant historical periods to show how it happens. In this working paper, CGD senior fellow Peter Timmer and his co-authors report on the pathways out of poverty in Indonesia during 1993 to 2000, a period of economic and political turmoil, using cross-sectional data from the Central Statistical Board (BPS) for 1993 and 2002, as well as a panel data set from the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) for 1993 and 2000. They find that most of the rural agricultural poor people who escaped poverty did so without moving to urban areas. Changes in agricultural prices, wages and productivity played a critical role in making it possible for them to move out of poverty. Policy implications include: Governments should shift resources towards things that boost agricultural productivity, since it is the principle pathway out of poverty. This might include increased spending on agricultural research, improving the extension service, improving rural roads, and facilitating access to and use of more modern technology. Since the rural non-farm sector plays a role in getting people out of poverty, improving the investment climate for that sector is key. This means better market integration and infrastructure investment outside the capital. Improved education is still one of the most effective routes out of poverty. Ensuring that the poor have access to education, including post-primary education, should therefore be a cornerstone of the government's anti-poverty strategy.

Book Synopsis Integrated Pest Management by : Rajinder Peshin
Download or read book Integrated Pest Management written by Rajinder Peshin. This book was released on 2009-03-10. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrated Pest Management – Dissemination and Impact, Volume 2 is a sequel to Integrated Pest Management – Innovation-DevelopmentProcess, Volume 1. The book focuses on the IPM systems in the developed countries of North America, Europe and Australia, and the developing countries of Asia, Latin America and Africa. One of the major impedimentsin the dissemination and adoption of the IPM innovation is the complexity of the technology and reaching the vast population of farmers especially in the developing countries. The IPM-innovation development process is incomplete without the diffusion and adoption of IPM methods by the end users, and through its consequences. In spite of all the efforts in the developed and developing countries, the adoption of IPM is still low with few exceptions. The book covers the underlying concepts and methodologies of the diffusion of innovation theory and the program evaluation; and reviews the progress and impact of IPM programs implemented in the industrialized, the green revolution and the subsistence agricultural systems of the world. Forty-four experts from entomology, plant pathology, environmental science, agronomy, anthropology, economics and extensioneducationfromAfrica, Asia, Australia, Europe,NorthAmerica and South America have discussed impact of IPM with an interdisciplinary perspective. Each one of the experts is an authority in his or her eld of expertise. The researchers, farmers’education,supportingpoliciesofthegovernmentsandmarketforcesarethe elements of the IPM innovation system to achieve wider adoption of IPM strategy in agriculture.
