Do poor people tend to participate more/less in growth in agriculture than in growth in other sectors, and if so, when? If a focus on agriculture would tend to yield larger participation by the poor, but slower overall growth, which strategy would tend to have the largest payoff in terms of poverty reduction, and under which conditions?AgricultureEconomic aspectsAfrica, Sub-SaharanGreen RevolutionAfrica, Sub-SaharanRural poorAfrica, Sub-SaharanPovertyGovernment policyAfrica, Sub-SaharanElectronic books.AgricultureEconomic aspectsGreen RevolutionRural poorPovertyGovernment policy338.10967Christiaensen Luc J710487Demery Lionel970233MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451628303321Down to earth2205265UNINA
