Developing countries are under enormous pressure to produce more food for their growing populations, conserve natural resources, and reduce poverty. In the short term, however, these objectives may compete with one another. This book focuses in particular on the interactions between agricultural growth and environment and between environment and poverty. The chapters analyze and illustrate these interactions with case study evidence from the developing world in general and from specific agroclimatic zones in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The contributors also discuss the implications of these links for development policies, agricultural technologies, and social and economic institutions. With a clearer picture of how these goals interact, policymakers and researchers can design strategies for working more effectively to meet them. Contributors: Akinwumi A.
