Book Description
This study analyzes the significance of new economic context in Latin America and the Caribbean for the design of policies for the agricultural sector. In addition, it analyzes and assesses recent trends in agricultural development policy in Latin America, to identify and synthesize new policy directions, and to highlight emerging challenges and avenues for policy innovation. The main conclusion of the study is that Latin American agricultural and rural development policy is at a turning point that will require bold new initiatives to improve the production performance of agriculture, reduce rural poverty, protect the natural resource base of the sector and ensure the political sustainability of economic growth. This will require a pro-active set of interventions designed at restoring the specificity of sectoral agricultural policy while maintaining consistency with the macro reforms.--Publisher's description.

Book Description
Integrated rural development projects have a number of functional components which are operationally unrelated. Agricultural production promoting activities such as the extension of credit are combined with social components such as the provision of health services and with infrastructure building works such as rural electrification. Although the concept of a multipronged approach to rural development appears sound and attractive to many, its actual application has in many instances been disappointing. In particular, concrete achievements and hence measurable benefits often fall short of planning goals. It is argued in this study that the modesty in achievements experienced, so far, is due as much to the complexity of the problem, rural underdevelopment, as it is to the result of structure and inexperience of the mostly public sector institutions that are asked to implement the project designs. Concluding that the concept of integrated rural development merits further application, the study recommends pursuing an institutionalization of project development activities, (2) enlisting private sector land development companies as executing agencies; and (3) supporting financially and with technical assistance the many nongovernmental agencies that operate in rural development.
