Farming out of poverty
The 2008 World Development Report argued that agriculture can offer pathways out of
poverty where efforts are made to increase productivity and to connect smallholders to
rapidly expanding high-value markets. Using concepts discussed during this course, evaluate
the possibilities for the poor to farm their way out of poverty based on an analysis of one (or
more) crop(s), case(s) or agricultural context(s). Examine the way such linkages work. To
what degree have such linkages with markets (with or without supporting policies) worked
to benefit smallholders? To what extent have such linkages sped up processes of land
dispossession, marginalization or led to adverse incorporation? What might be done to
ameliorate the risks you identify?

Final discussion paper (supplement INSTRUCTION not a substitute)
This assessment task is designed to increase your skills in researching and analyzing agrarian issues and thinking through possible policy implications and options.
Students will be assessed on their ability to apply concepts we have studied in the course, particularly the concepts discussed in the first five weeks. Students who

write descriptive essays and/or fail to apply key concepts (e.g. livelihoods, entitlement, vulnerability, food security, agrarian transition etc) will be marked down.
In line with three key learning outcomes of this course, you will be assessed according to the skills you apply to:
o Engage critically with the assumptions underpinning key policy perspectives, reflecting on their relation to the underlying processes that emerge from a combination

of economic, political, cultural and natural processes.
o Analyse the potentialities and limits of selected widely promoted and replicated rural development policies and their appropriateness as strategies for dealing with

agricultural questions in particular contexts.
o Discuss the implications of policies for different actors and institutions concerned with or affected by rural policy drawing on a wider literature and discussions

of pertinent cases.
