  • Fostering global well-being: A new paradigm to revitalize agricultural and rural development
    Bathrick, D. D. (International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), 1998)
    The author describes the almost revolutionary changes that have taken place in the economic arena in recent years. This is a story of paradigm shift, where government-led economic growth through the 1970s gave way to the increasingly market-led growth we see now. The emergence of the market in the context of globalization has meant the reduction of biases against agriculture; an emphasis on flexible responses in the production of goods and services; strengthened links between local, national, and international economies; greater integration of different sectors of the economy; and increased importance of the private sector.
