Review Quotes:
"The book offers a detailed roadmap for government-driven structural transformation via small-farm agriculture. The prose in the book is remarkably accessible to practitioners, students, and applied economists. ... amount of detail Mellor offers from agricultural development in different developing countries is an achievement, and the book makes for an engaging read."
