Summary: The topics in this book deals, primarily with the eradication of rural poverty. It pinpoints the importance of raising the productivity of small farmers, and suggests that the international agricultural research effort, wittingly or unwittingly, is developing a technology that is not small-farmer oriented. This raises the question as to what constitutes a small-farmer technology. Certainly the new high-yielding varieties of seeds are scale neutral, so that a new rice variety can give higher yields whether used by a large or small farmer.
