解説

This book explores how to achieve the first two Sustainable Development Goals-Zero Hunger and No Poverty-through effective development strategies in agriculture and industry. To eliminate hunger, increased food production is essential. To reduce poverty, expanding job opportunities through industrialization is key. The author presents a consistent analytical framework supported by a rich collection of case studies conducted over the past 40 years in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Written in plain language, the book is accessible to readers without a background in economics, making its insights widely applicable and easy to grasp.

Three fundamental development strategies are proposed for poor economies:

  1. Innovation through Learning: Learning technology and management practices from advanced countries, often with necessary adaptation to local conditions and resource endowments, is a fundamental first step for development.
  2. Investment in Human Capital: Strengthening the capabilities of key decision-makers-farmers in agriculture and managers in industry-is crucial for driving progress.
  3. Training and Knowledge Spillovers: To internalize the benefits of innovation, training programs led by governments or producer collectives are essential for spreading new knowledge effectively.

This book is a valuable resource for policymakers, development practitioners, and anyone interested in practical approaches to inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
