Abstract

This chapter first summarizes the two “big ideas” that are the subject of this book. These ideas differ from current central tendencies in thinking about the agriculture of low- and middle-income countries and poverty reduction. That is followed by definition of the concepts that are central to the analysis in this book—geographic area and national income level, four types of households (small commercial farm, large-scale/feudal farm, rural non-farm, and urban), economic transformation, agricultural modernization, and rapid agricultural growth.
