Rethinking Roles in Sustainable Agricultural Development
Presents twenty specially commissioned case studies of farmer participatory approaches to agricultural innovation initiated by NGOs in Asia with case material set within the context of NGOs' relations with the state.
Using new evidence from a three year programme of research in developing countries in Asia, Latin America and Africa, the authors describe how government organizations have been privatised, decentralised or restructured while private sector organizations - both non-profit and commercial - have taken on increasingly important roles in resource management and service supply. This book provides an important and easily accessible point of reference for decision-makers and students alike, offering unique view in its breadth of coverage across the natural resources sector and a range of different institutional types and approaches to resource management.
