Sommario/riassunto

The book demonstrates that reform policies_including privatization of land and the shift from collective to individual farming_have a significant impact on agricultural growth, rural incomes, and poverty alleviation. The analysis spans more than 40 years of agricultural and



rural development in Azerbaijan, based on country-level statistical data and original farm and household surveys.
