Author: Hans Ruthenberg
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Written by the author of the classic study Farming Systems in the Tropics, this seminal work brings together ideas and materials collected during a lifetime of research on small holdings in the tropics. Focusing primarily on the impact of technical and institutional innovation on the development and economics of smallholder agriculture, the author discusses the availabilty of these innovations, the capacity of small farms to implement them, and their direct and indirect effects on farm production. This expert analysis will be invaluable for Third World policy makers, sxperts and advanced students in agricultural development, and workers in international and bilateral aid organizations.

Living Under Contract
Author: Peter D. Little
Publisher: Univ of Wisconsin Press
ISBN: 9780299140649
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
Wracked by poverty, famine, and drought, Africa is typically represented as agriculturally stagnant, backward, and crisis-prone. Living Under Contract, however, highlights the dynamic, changing character of sub-Saharan agrarian systems by focusing on contract farming. A relatively new and increasingly widespread way of organizing peasant agriculture, contract farming promotes production of a wide variety of crops--from flowers to cocoa, from fresh vegetables to rice--under contract to agribusinesses, exporters, and processers. The proliferation of African growers producing under contract is in fact part of broader changes in the global agro-food system. In this examination of agricultural restructuring and its effect upon various African societies, editors Peter Little and Michael Watts bring together anthropologists, economists, geographers, political scientists, and sociologists to explore the origins, forms, and consequences of contract production in several African countries, particularly Kenya, the Gambia, Zimbabwe, and the Ivory Coast. Documenting how contract production links farmers, agribusiness, and the state, the contributors examine problematic aspects of this method of agrarian reform. Their case studies, based on long-term field work and analysis on the village and household level, chart the complex effects of contract production on the organization of work and the labor process, rural inequality, gender relations, labor markets, local accumulation strategies, and regional development. Living Under Contract reveals that contract farming represents a distinctive form in which African growers are incorporated into national and world markets. Contract production, which has been a central feature of the agricultural landscape in the advanced capitalist states, is an emerging strategy for "capturing peasants" and for confronting the agrarian question in the late twentieth century.
