Rural nonfarm employment and farming: household‐level linkages

Benjamin Davis, Paul Winters (), Thomas Reardon and Kostas Stamoulis

Agricultural Economics, 2009, vol. 40, issue 2, 119-123

Abstract: This article introduces the articles in Agricultural Economics, vol. 40 no. 2 (March 2009). First, we introduce their objectives in a brief review of existing literature on developing country trends in rural income diversification, in particular rural nonfarm employment (RNFE) and its impact on farm technology choice in crops and livestock, and thus on agricultural modernization and diversification. Then we preview the key points of the articles, which use distinctive primary datasets from Albania, Bulgaria, China, India, Mexico, Nigeria, the Philippines, Senegal, and Vietnam to document the impacts of RNFE and their implications for farm technology and farm activity.
