From Book News, Inc.
The process of agricultural development in Bangladesh over the last fifty years provides the focus for this text. Looking at the complex environmental, economic, and social issues surrounding this country's agriculture, the authors consider the prospects for sustaining agricultural production. Alauddin (economics, U. of Queensland, Australia) and Hossain (economics, U. of Dhaka, Bangladesh) discuss such topics as land use patterns, the impact of technology, property rights, and the relationship between agricultural growth and rural poverty.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book Description
This book comprehensively examines the performance of Bangladeshi agriculture in light of the most recent thinking on economic development and the environment. It both analyzes the experience during the last five decades and discusses the major issues and challenges with special emphasis on the prospects for sustainable agricultural development in the future. The authors emphasize the importance of distributional aspects of environmental change and development in relation to employment and poverty and also focus on gender issues - often ignored in traditional theory. Many of the issues that arise in Bangladesh in connection with the agricultural-development nexus are not unique to the country. Parallels exist elsewhere in the developing world and as such Bangladesh is useful as an example from which to draw conclusions about much of the developing world. Environment and Agriculture in a Developing Economy will therefore be of particular interest to developmental and environmental economists as well as international organizations and NGOs committed to environment and development issues.
