Small farms, big portions

Article Abstract:

Economic policies have often had a negative impact on farmers in developing countries, according to evidence from the World Bank and other sources. Overvalued exchange rates and export quotas have made it harder for farmers to trade, while protection of domestic manufacturers has led to a rise in the price paid by farmers for essential items. It has been established that the less countries discriminate against agriculture, the better their rates of growth, both in agriculture and in the economy in general.
