Sinopsis:

“Agricultural Development and Economic Transformation: Promoting Growth with Poverty Reduction” by John W. Mellor examines the critical role of agricultural development in driving economic transformation and reducing poverty. Mellor argues that agricultural growth is a fundamental component for broader economic development, particularly in low-income countries where a large portion of the population depends on farming for their livelihoods. The book explores the mechanisms through which agricultural development stimulates economic growth, including increased productivity, rural employment, and the generation of surplus income that can be invested in other sectors.

Mellor also delves into the policies and strategies necessary to achieve effective agricultural development. He emphasizes the importance of government support, infrastructure development, access to credit, and technological innovation in enhancing agricultural productivity. Additionally, the book addresses the social dimensions of agricultural development, highlighting how targeted interventions can ensure that the benefits of growth are equitably distributed, thereby reducing poverty and improving food security. “Agricultural Development and Economic Transformation” is an essential read for policymakers, development practitioners, and scholars, offering valuable insights into how agriculture can be leveraged as a powerful engine for inclusive economic growth and poverty alleviation.
