| dc.description | This general paper suggests that the scope of a country's food and
nutrition policy should embrace three related objectives: (1) the design and
implementation of an agricultural strategy that achieves an appropriate rate
and pattern of expansion of food and other farm products; (2) action to bring
nutritional objectives to bear in influencing the combination of foods produced
and the processing techniques employed; and (3) the identification and
implementation of supplementary programmes of nutrition intervention aimed
directly at certain important welfare objectives, such as overcoming nutritional
deficiencies that may be common among some segments of the under-five age group.
Principal emphasis is given in this, paper to the first objective. It is argued
that an agricultural strategy that brings about the progressive modernisation
of a large and increasing fraction of a country's farm households is fundamental
to the success of efforts to promote overall economic growth and structural
transformation as well as achieving the social goals of employment creation,
better income distribution, and improvements in nutrition and health. | |
