"Agriculture in Sustainable Rural Development" is a specialized book that addresses the design, formulation, and implementation of the Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy II (GPRS II) in Ghana and examines its impact on the development of rural agricultural livelihoods. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the role of agriculture in sustainable rural development and highlights the potential multiplier effects of sustainable agriculture in developing countries, particularly in Africa. The book meticulously documents the microeconomic effects of GPRS II on agricultural productivity and the improvement of living conditions for smallholder farmers, aiming to create private employment opportunities and reduce poverty. Additionally, it presents an innovative and multidimensional methodology for assessing the resilience of livelihoods, which can also be applied to the analysis of poverty reduction measures in other regions of the world. This analysis is particularly valuable for professionals and students in development planning and management who are interested in sustainable agriculture and rural development issues.
