摘要 | 'What can poor people in rural areas do to improve their livelihoods?' At the heart of this question is one of the most intractable problems in development - how to improve the prospects of the roughly one billion people who have been left behind in rural areas by the rising living standards in the developing world. A new book,Markets and Rural Poverty: Upgrading in Value Chains(edited by Jonathan Mitchell and Christopher Coles) attempts to provide new answers to this question through the experience of a series of action research projects focused on upgrading in agro-food value chains in developing countries. In Chapter 2, Simon Bolwig, Andries du Toit, Niels Halberg and DIIS researchersStefano Ponteand Lone Riisgaard provide 'A Methodology for Integrating Developmental Concerns into Value Chain Analysis and Interventions' that guided the design, implementation and analysis of these interventions. The book concludes that there is no reason why poor rural households should have to choose between social protection and enterprise development. Both are necessary to reduce poverty. Social protection transfers are entirely consistent with upgrading activities in a specific value chain. The book also 'demonstrates that value chain development can be an important tool to reduce poverty in poor households in rural areas across a rich diversity of products and places' (p. 259). |
