It discusses potential solutions to these problems, and considers the implications of globalization for agriculture, poverty, and the environment.

The roles of governments and of international institutions in promoting broad-based development are also explored. Economics of Agricultural Development covers topics related to the sustainability of the natural resource environment, gender roles in relation to agriculture and resource use, and the importance of macroeconomic policies as related to development and trade. The successes and failures of such policies, and the implications for what might be done in the future to encourage more rapid agricultural and economic development, are also considered.
