Título : Development Economics : The Role of Agriculture in Development Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: P. N. Raja Junankar ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: London : Palgrave Macmillan UK Fecha de publicación: 2016 Otro editor: Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan Número de páginas: XII, 233 p Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-137-55522-9 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Agriculture Microeconomics Labor economics Development Regional Spatial Economics Regional/Spatial Science Clasificación: 330 Economía en general Resumen: Informal labour markets are prevalent in developing countries and these provide poor conditions of work and living for a large majority of the population. The papers in this book study economic development from the perspective of social justice and economic efficiency; exploring the role of land tenure and productivity in Indian agriculture. Junankar discusses the efficiency of small farms versus large farms, and the role of share-cropping tenancy. He provides a critique of neoclassical economics that assumes farmers maximize profits in competitive markets and argues that social and institutional conditions limit the conditions under which farmers operate in developing countries. Development Economics raises issues of poverty, inequality and mobility of agriculturists. Junankar proposes different taxation principles on agricultural producers that would lead to a more efficient and equitable system; and this collection of essays also highlights the role of microfinance in helping the empowerment of women in poor countries En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1057/9781137555229 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=42043 Development Economics : The Role of Agriculture in Development [documento electrónico] / P.

Título : Diversification of Agriculture in Eastern India Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: SpringerLink (Online service) ; Madhusudan Ghosh ; Sarkar, Debashis ; Bidhan Chandra Roy Editorial: New Delhi : Springer India Fecha de publicación: 2015 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Colección: India Studies in Business and Economics, ISSN 2198-0012 Número de páginas: XXI, 239 p. 5 illus Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-81-322-1997-2 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Production management Agriculture Agricultural economics Economics Operations Management Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: Divided into three parts - Rationale and Extent of Agricultural Diversification, Nature and Problems of Agricultural Diversification, and Food and Livelihood Security through Agricultural Diversification, this edited book examines various aspects of agricultural diversification in Eastern India. In recent years, Indian agriculture has been diversifying from cereals to high-value crops and livestock products in accordance with the changing consumption patterns. As such, it faces the challenges of a new economic regime, besides the usual problems of rising population, unemployment and poverty, declining investments in the agriculture sector and degradation of natural resources. These issues are discussed in the book in light of the significant transformation in the economic structure of the Indian economy from agriculture to non-agriculture (industry and services) and changing cropping pattern from cereals to non-cereals, in accordance with the changing consumption pattern. The book would be of interest to teachers, researchers, policymakers, students and general readers having an interest in agricultural development in India Nota de contenido: Chapter 1.

Raney ; André Croppenstedt ; Julia A. Behrman ; Amber Peterman Editorial: Dordrecht : Springer Netherlands Fecha de publicación: 2014 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Número de páginas: XVI, 444 p. 17 illus Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-94-017-8616-4 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Agriculture Development economics Agricultural Social sciences Sociology Sex (Psychology) Gender expression identity Economics Sciences, general Studies Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) produced a 2011 report on women in agriculture with a clear and urgent message: agriculture underperforms because half of all farmers—women—lack equal access to the resources and opportunities they need to be more productive. This book builds on the report’s conclusions by providing, for a non-specialist audience, a compendium of what we know now about gender gaps in agriculture. The authors explore linkages among gender, assets, and agricultural development projects. They examine the current state of land tenure; women’s access to markets, financial services, and rural employment; and gender differences in social capital and in vulnerability to poor nutrition and health. The book also looks at trends in agricultural research, development, and extension systems and in women’s participation in research. The opening section summarizes the main messages of the 2011 FAO report and reviews how gender has been conceptualized in agriculture and how these concepts have changed in the past three decades. Topics covered include how demographic conditions such as household structure, age, and migration have affected gender relations. Part 2 of the book focuses on data and methods for understanding gender issues in agriculture. The authors look at changing institutional approaches to addressing gender and assess past and present methods for effectively collecting and analyzing data on gender roles and relations in agriculture. Part 3 gathers background studies that document gender gaps in assets and key agricultural inputs. Part 4 looks beyond the farm to observe and analyze gender roles in markets and value chains. Part 5 proposes ways that agricultural research, development, and extension systems can be made more responsive to the needs of both male and female farmers. The research findings collected here provide, in non-technical language, an overview of a pressing problem in agricultural development—the disadvantages and inequities that burden women farmers—as well as ways to understand and address this problem.
