Participants at the 2006 Berlin Workshop gathered to discuss challenges and successes pertaining to agriculture and development. Agriculture is the major sector contributing to economic development in many poor countries. Three out of every four poor people in developing countries live in rural areas. As globalization accelerates, development policies should tackle future challenges in agriculture arising from the scarcity of natural resources and globalization. The author highlights the paramount importance of redefining the framework for agriculture, providing us with food for thought and putting forward suggestions that need greater reflection and more detailed discussion. The contribution focuses on three main topics. First, the author presents some considerations on global agricultural development and trade. The author describes the different approaches to agricultural development, outcomes and effects of these approaches and evaluates which nations or which population groups are benefiting, as this could help to develop target group oriented strategies in poverty alleviation and agriculture. Second, the author takes a critical look at how agriculture and the rural sector can be an effective engine for growth. Another issue on the agenda is to determine what agriculture needs in the way of technology, infrastructure, and financial support to become a growth engine? These new insights should contribute to an appropriate formulation and implementation of tailored agriculture for development programs. Finally, the author looks at development in connection with systematic capacity building and training, pointing out the need to define sound capacity-building measures in terms of agriculture as well as to determine how these could be used more effectively.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO MARKETSAGRICULTURAL COMMODITIESAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTAGRICULTURAL EMPLOYMENTAGRICULTURAL GROWTHAGRICULTURAL INCOMESAGRICULTURAL ISSUESAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTURAL POLICIESAGRICULTURAL POLICYAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTSAGRICULTURAL RESEARCHAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGRICULTURAL SUBSIDIESAGRICULTUREBIODIVERSITYBIOLOGICAL DIVERSITYCAPACITY BUILDINGCHILD LABORCITIZENSCLIMATE CHANGECLOSED ECONOMIESCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGESCOMPETITIVE ADVANTAGECOMPETITIVENESSCONSUMERSCROP DIVERSIFICATIONCROP YIELDSDECENTRALIZATIONDEMAND FOR FOODDEMOCRACYDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT AGENCIESDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDEVELOPMENT POLICIESDEVELOPMENT POLICYDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESDEVELOPMENT STRATEGYDISSEMINATIONECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC COOPERATIONECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GEOGRAPHYECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC THEORYECONOMICS LITERATUREECONOMISTSELASTICITIESEMPIRICAL RESEARCHENGEL CURVEENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTIONENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMSENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCESENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYEPIDEMICSEXPLOITATIONEXPORTSEXTERNALITIESEXTREME POVERTYFARM PRODUCTIONFARM-GATEFARMER ASSOCIATIONSFARMERSFARMSFISHFOOD CROPFOOD CROP PRODUCTIONFOOD IMPORTSFOOD INSECURITYFOOD MARKETSFOOD PRICESFOOD QUALITYFOOD SECURITYFOOD SUPPLIESFOOD SUPPLYFOOD SYSTEMSFOREST MANAGEMENTFREE TRADEGDPGDP PER CAPITAGLOBAL ENVIRONMENTGLOBAL MARKETSGOOD GOVERNANCEGREEN REVOLUTIONGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROSS NATIONAL PRODUCTGROWTH POTENTIALGROWTH RATEHEALTH POLICIESHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN WELL-BEINGIMPORTSINCOMEINCOME TRANSFERSINDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTINDUSTRIAL REVOLUTIONINDUSTRIALIZATIONINEQUALITYINSTITUTIONAL MECHANISMSINSURANCEINSURANCE MARKETSINTERNATIONAL ACTIONINTERNATIONAL CAPACITYINTERNATIONAL TRADEIRRIGATIONJOB CREATIONLABOR PRODUCTIVITYLAND DEGRADATIONLAND DISTRIBUTIONLAND MANAGEMENTLAND RIGHTSLEGAL STATUSLOBBYISTSLOCAL CAPACITYLOCAL ECONOMYLOCAL FARMERSLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMACROECONOMIC POLICYMACROECONOMIC STABILITYMALNUTRITIONMARGINAL PRODUCTMIGRATIONMIGRATION FLOWSMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMODERNIZATIONMULTIPLIER EFFECTMULTIPLIERSNATIONAL ECONOMIESNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCE BASENATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNATURAL RESOURCESOILOPEN ECONOMIESPARTICIPATORY PROCESSESPOLICY CHANGEPOLICY ENVIRONMENTPOLICY INSTRUMENTSPOLICY MAKERSPOLITICAL DECISIONPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLLUTIONPOORPOOR COUNTRIESPOOR PEOPLEPOPULATION GROUPSPOPULATION GROWTHPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRODUCERSPRODUCTION COSTSPRODUCTIVITYPROGRESSPROPERTY RIGHTSPROVISION OF SERVICESPUBLIC SERVICESQUALITY ASSURANCERATE OF GROWTHREAL GDPREGIONAL POLICIESREGRESSION ANALYSESREMOTE AREASRESEARCH COMMUNITYRESEARCH INSTITUTIONSRESOURCES MANAGEMENTRESPECTRURALRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL HOUSEHOLDSRURAL POLICIESRURAL POORRURAL POPULATIONRURAL POPULATIONSRURAL POVERTYRURAL SECTORRURAL SECTORSSAVINGSSCIENCE POLICYSERVICE DELIVERYSKILLED WORKERSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSPATIAL PATTERNSSPILLOVERSTRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENTSUBSISTENCE FARMERSSUBSISTENCE FARMINGSUPPLY CHAINSSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNOLOGICAL CHANGETOTAL OUTPUTTRADE ISSUESTRADE LIBERALIZATIONTRADE NEGOTIATIONSTRADE POLICIESTRADE POLICYTRANSACTION COSTSURBAN AREASURBAN MIGRATIONURBANIZATIONVALUE ADDEDWAGE RATESWAGESWATER RESOURCESWEALTHWORLD TRADE ORGANIZATIONWTOYOUNG PEOPLEWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7127-5
