| dc.description | This is a very condensed examination of the reciprocal interactions
between agriculture and industry in the development process. It is argued that
today's 'late developing countries' -- those characterised by an economic structure
in which agriculture still accounts for some 60 to 80 per cent of the country's
total labour force and by rapid rates of growth of both population and labour force
-- confront special problems and opportunities. One consequence of those structural/
demographic characteristics is that the nature and time sequence of farm innovations
will determine the proportion of a country's farmers that is able to participate
in the process of agricultural modernisation. And whether or not a country's agricultural
strategy leads to wide participation of the rural population in technical
and economic advance has major implications for the achievement of both the economic
and social goals of national development. | |
