Sinopsis:

The Economics of Agricultural Development by John W. Mellor provides an in-depth analysis of the role agriculture plays in the broader context of economic development, particularly in low-income countries. The book explores how agricultural growth contributes to overall economic progress, emphasizing the importance of increased productivity in the rural sector to alleviate poverty. Mellor argues that agricultural development stimulates non-agricultural sectors, generating employment and improving income distribution. He delves into policy frameworks, investment strategies, and technological innovations that are necessary to transform agriculture into a driving force for national economic growth.

The book also examines the complex relationships between agricultural development, food security, and population growth. Mellor highlights how government policies, such as subsidies, price controls, and land reforms, impact agricultural productivity and sustainability. He stresses the importance of integrating rural development with national development plans and international trade policies. Through detailed case studies and empirical data, Mellor offers practical insights for policymakers, researchers, and students on how to achieve sustainable agricultural growth that supports overall economic development.
