THEORIES AND MODELS OF AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT
Abstract
Agricultural development is a sub-set of rural development. However, rural areas cannot attain development without its agriculture being developed because majority of the rural dwellers are engaged in agricultural practices as their major source of income. The main objectives of agricultural development are the improvement of material and social welfare of the people. Therefore, creating a sustainable agricultural development path means improving the quality of life in rural areas, ensuring enough food for present and future generations and generating sufficient income for farmers. Supporting sustainable agricultural development also involves ensuring and maintaining productive capacity for the future and increasing productivity without damaging the environment or jeopardizing natural resources. In the light of this, this paper employed available literature to review agricultural development and theories of agricultural development such as frontier model, conservation model, the urban-industrial impact model, diffusion model and high-pay off input model.
Keywords: Agricultural Development; Theories and Models.
