Description
This book provides a history of agricultural growth and development around the world. It discusses how this process varies from place to place and over time. The book also compares different cases to try and draw general conclusions about the agricultural transformation process.
History teaches us that agricultural growth and development is necessary for achieving overall better living conditions in all societies. Although this process may seem homogenous when looked at from the outside, it is full of diversity within. This book captures this diversity by presenting eleven independent case studies ranging over time and space. By comparing outcomes, attempts are made to draw general conclusion and lessons about the agricultural transformation process.
