内容説明

Rural migration involving land settlement is often a positive force in agricultural development. This book examines its impact in 10 case studies covering a wide time-span in Australia, England, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Latin America, Tanzania, United States and Zambia. Migrants never operate in a vacuum and this study shows how they attempt to cope with new restraints and opportunities. The enquiry has important implications for policy makers especially in dealing with refugees and land settlement. It underlines the important role of the agricultural entrepreneur in economic development and the wide range of national policies for settling rural migrants. This international study examines the key role of migrants in developing world agriculture through bringing tried and tested practices in their homelands and adapting them to their new conditions.
