Abstract
The poor who tend not to benefit from rapid agricultural growth represent a difficult context for poverty reduction. There are substantial geographic areas that have a high proportion of their population in poverty but which are not suitable for the application of the improved technologies that drive agricultural income growth and its transfer to the poor. More amenable to solution are classes that may not fully participate in poverty reduction even though they are in areas suitable for rapid technological advance: female-headed households, subsistence farmers, high proportions of rural non-farm households, and disadvantageous tenure conditions. As poverty is reduced, food security increases and the focus can shift to the complex problem of improving nutritional quality.
