What agenda now for agriculture?: a response to the world development report 2008

cseadmin's picture

The agenda for agriculture as laid out in the WDR 2008 contains important and urgent messages, but it is limited in its scope. A broader vision is needed that pays more attention to issues of power, equity, and rights. This would emphasise: trade rules that allow developing countries to determine their trade-policy mix based on the development needs of the rural sector; the implementation and enforcement of labour legislation for the agriculture sector that ensures decent work for all;and building an effective state to implement investment and rural development policies for the poorest and most marginalised sectors.
