Rapid structural transformation and urbanization are transforming
agriculture and food production in rural areas across the world.
This textbook provides a comprehensive review and assessment of the
multi-faceted nature of agriculture and rural development,
particularly in the developing world, where the greatest challenges
occur. It is designed around five thematic parts: Agricultural
Intensification and Technical Change; Political Economy of
Agricultural Policies; Community and Rural Institutions;
Agriculture, Nutrition, and Health; and Future Relevance of
International Institutions. Each chapter presents a detailed but
accessible review of the literature on the specific topic and
discusses the frontiers in research and institutional changes
needed as societies adapt to the transformation processes. All
authors are eminent scholars with international reputations, who
have been actively engaged in the contemporary debates around
agricultural development and rural transformation.

It is believed that the major countries of the former Soviet
Union-specifically Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine (KRU region)-are
the part of the world with the most potential to increase food
supplies and strengthen world food security. This book examines the
future of the KRU countries in global agricultural markets and will
examine a number of agricultural sectors, including meat, dairy,
fruits, and vegetables. However particular attention is paid to the
region's potential expansion of the grain sector and why the KRU
region emerged during the 2000s as a major grain exporter, and its
potential to further expand grain production and exports. It also
examine the issues of environmental constraints and trade-offs for
agriculture, sustainability, and the possible effects of climate
change
The Iron Curtain lifted in 1989, and more than twenty nations
emerged from the isolation that had largely hidden them from the
rest of the world for more than four decades. In each of these
former Soviet States, remnants of tradition and economic
organization has prevented them from stepping out, beyond the
curtain and onto the world stage. Regardless, some have been
extremely successful. In Agriculture in Transition: Land Policies
and Evolving Farm Structures in Post Soviet Countries authors Zvi
Lerman, Csaba Csaki, and Gershon Feder study the land policies and
farming infastructures of these newly emerging nations as
components of institutional change in the rural sector - change
from a centralized rural economy to a market-oriented economy.
Their analysis of the policy, tradition, history, and social
structure of these developing states pushes the discussion of
economic transition beyond questions policy, planning, and
implementation.
