The conclusion is that technical, economic and social changes are unlikely to take place within primitive agriculture unless the rural community concerned is exposed to the pressure of population growth: a conclusion that is in sharp contrast to generally accepted ideas. The themes in the book are central to the discussion of the problems of population explosion and the world's undernourished peoples. 650 0 Agriculture |xEconomic aspects. 650 0 Population. 776 |z1-138-87860-X 776 |z0-415-31298-1 797 2 elibro, Corp. 830 0 Development economics ; |v4. 906 BOOK
