| description |
Having lived in South East Asia, as well as on the African and South American
continents working on agricultural projects for some forty years, the writer acquired
an appreciation of the harshness of life for so many of the rural and urban peoples
living in so-called World Development Regions (WDRs).
The difficulty of living on a knife-edge under uncertain and varying circumstances
of governance, health and education, infrastructure, soil fertility and climate can
only be understood by people who have to spend their energy to survive and
improve the circumstance under which they were born. The population pressure
now being brought to bear on the globe’s resources only increases the uncertainty of
life in such regions.
Increasing world population makes the achievement of sustainable food security
for the people living in WDRs acute. It is argued that small-scale agricultural devel-
opment in development regions is important in this regard and that the input of the
local small-scale and subsistence farming community, with the active participation
of national and international agencies and governments, is necessary if sustainable
small-scale agricultural development in WDRs is to be achieved.
Policy makers of such agencies should involve themselves closely with small-
scale farming communities in establishing ways and means to work towards achiev-
ing this aim.
Due to modern communication and transportation methods, our world, although
rapidly becoming smaller, at the same time is enlarging greatly, which brings a new
and challenging world upon us. All nations, whether developing or developed
demand their place in this changing new world. Due to their resources the developed
world might profit more from the new opportunities opening up than the low
income countries. There is a danger for the existing gap between these two streams
of nations widening further. |
