Bøger af Norman Uphoff

This volume offers a collection of innovative and diverse approaches to agricultural development. Documented in 12 case studies, these approaches are reliant upon greater knowledge, skill and labour input, rather than larger capital expenditure. They are shown to increase yield substantially.

Norman Uphoff draws far reaching conclusions from the Gal Oya project for participatory development and contemporary social science; he documents and analyses the remarkable progress made by farmers, community organizers, officials, researchers and policy makers, iteratively forging progressive changes in the midst of ethnic and political strife.
