Rural Development in Practice focuses on the evolving nature of
rural development in the Global South. It outlines how we got to
where we are today, checks what we can learn from history, and
explores the development drivers, facilitators, and obstacles most
likely to shape the years ahead. The book covers the management of
fishing grounds, forests, grazing lands, water sources and soil,
and looks at the effects of infrastructure, trade mechanisms, and
new crop varieties on farming. The author discusses the
opportunities and challenges of microfinance, social safety nets
and migration, and assesses the way ICT and climate change are
changing everything, rapidly. Real-life examples, exercises,
role-plays, textboxes, anecdotes, and illustrative artwork are used
to bring concepts and theories to life, and every chapter concludes
with a section that explores how best to tackle the tough and
complex dilemmas of our time. Rural Development in Practice is
essential reading for students at all levels and may be of benefit
for programme and policy staff in rural-focused government
departments, multilateral agencies, and non-government
organisations.
