Abstract

Significant shifts in the viewpoints expressed on the role of agriculture in economic development have occurred in the past 15 years. This article summarizes these views as they have evolved towards an emphasis on balanced development effort, with a recognition of the critical importance of the intersectoral relationships between agriculture and nonagriculture. Problems in increasing food production and expanding food marketing during development are discussed, and the specific contributions of the agricultural and nonagricultural sectors are identified. The article is directed principally to the nonspecialists in economic development.
