This book makes a compelling case for reintegrating structural issues into agricultural and rural development policies, which have for the last 30 years overfocused on shortterm issues. It shows how the liberalization of agriculture in many late developing countries has not in fact led to the development of the vibrant rural nonfarm economy, nor has it led to a largescale integration of agricultural producers into the global economy. Despite these findings, the book draws optimistic conclusions: there are a clear set of policy priorities that, if adapted to individual country contexts, can facilitate an enduring and productive rural transformation.The book is based on an indepth sevencountry study that surveyed 8,000 rural households. It specifically focuses on these households activity and income structures in an evolving agricultural context marked by liberalization and trends of increasing economic integration. In doing so it reviews the very different levels (and trajectories) of rural diversification among countries at various stages in the structural transformation process.Based on its investigation of existing rural realities, the book suggests several policy orientations. These include a clear need to focus on staples and family agriculture, to engage in targeted development strategies at the regional level, and to pursue a policy of 'territorial development' that promotes strong ruralurban linkages at the level of rural localities, towns and districts.
