| description | For decades, the earnings from farming
in many developing countries have been depressed because of
a pro-urban, anti-agricultural bias in own-country policies
and because governments in more well off countries are
favoring their farmers by imposing import barriers and
providing subsidies. These policies have reduced national
and global economic welfare, inhibited economic growth, and
added to inequality and poverty because no less than
three-quarters of the billion poorest people in the world
have been dependent directly or indirectly on farming for
their livelihoods (World Bank 2007). The purpose of the rest
of this chapter is to outline the analytical framework and
the common empirical methodology adopted in the global and
national case studies reported in subsequent chapters, to
summarize and compare the modeling results from the global
and national models, and to draw some general policy
implications. The findings are based on three chapters (part
two) that each use a global model to examine the effects of
farm and nonfarm price and trade policies on global poverty
and the distribution of poverty within and across many of
the countries identified, plus ten individual
developing-country studies (parts three-five) spanning the
three key regions: Asia (where nearly two-thirds of the
world's poor live), Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America. |
