Sinopsis

* ideal book for those going into the field for the first time

* clearly written, well illustrated, interdisciplinary, vital


"The Resilient Family Farm" is an interdisciplinary primer written for those who are involved in or who support rural development. Part I highlights the economic and ecological realities of the small family farm, while Part II examines the role of the development organization in supporting farm families who cope with these economic and environmental realities.

In simple, straightforward language with photographs and illustrations, "The Resilient Family Farm" includes examples of development successes and failures, shares observations and lessons from the field, clarifies the challenges and realities of rural development work and provides guidance for donors and practitioners who understand that the rich inter-connectedness and complexities of smallholder farm life demand complete, rather than partial, responses and support.
