Resumen
Descripción
The major objective of this paper is to investigate the feasibility of generating
substantially higher (20 percent or more) income and employment in Kenyan
small scale agriculture under various policy options, using data from a selected
area. Specific objectives are to: assess the impact of a declining land-labour
ratio upon farm enterprise combination; measure and contrast the income and
employment generating capacity of two agricultural development strategies--one
which pursues the income maximizing objective, the other the employment
maximizing objective; determine an optimal tradeoff between the income
maximizing and employment maximizing objectives; and draw some policy
implications from the major results.
