dc.descriptionNew forces are at work in the agricultural sector: the growth of markets and private entrepreneurship, the changing global demand for food and other agricultural products, the rise of multinationals, and the expansion of integrated food chains. To realize the potential benefits, the public sector has a crucial role to play through policy initiatives to support agriculture, reduce poverty, and ensure broad rural development alignment with these forces. Building on the foundation of the Agriculture Investment Sourcebook (World Bank 2005), this book explores ways in which the public sector can work with the private sector to facilitate growth, and ensure equitable benefit distribution. It describes the key policy and institutional issues involved in promoting private sector investment in agriculture, and accelerating growth to benefit the poor. It identifies priorities for public investment in specific agricultural settings at different stages of economic growth, and offers practical approaches for enhancing the impact of such investment. Finally, it summarizes lessons learned about successful support of agricultural development, and discusses areas in which additional progress is required. Policymakers and international development organizations will find Agricultural Growth for the Poor an invaluable resource for analyzing the prospects for agriculture in the changing global environment and developing an agenda for pro-poor development.
