Agricultural and Rural Development in Indonesia edited by Gary E. Hansen
This book provides a broad, interdisciplinary overview of the major facets of Indonesia's contemporary agricultural and rural development, while exploring the macro and micro factors that account for uneven development patterns. In assessing the rate and distribution of economic growth within the rural sector of the Indonesian archipelago, the authors analyze trends in employment generation, income distribution, and smallholder agricultural production. They specifically examine policy dimensions of agricultural production, the Green Revolution, the effects of migration, and resource management of fisheries and forests. Emphasis is placed on the island of Java as the most-studied area of Indonesia.
Dr. Gary E. Hansen is research associate at the East-West Center's Resource Systems Institute in Honolulu. Prom July 1978 to August 1979 he was team leader for an AID-funded project with the government of Indonesia to design a short- and long-term national training strategy in regional planning and management.
