Description
Over three decades the Asian rural economy has experienced a dramatic transformation. In most Asian countries, the speed and level of agricultural, rural and overall economic development have far exceeded expectations. Despite such remarkable success, Asia continues to face major challenges. This book describes this "quiet revolution" with an emphasis on public policies and strategies and their impact on agricultural and economic growth, poverty, and the environment. This book is intended for policy-makers and students of economics, agricultural science, and Asian studies
