This book explores the potential for economic development within rural areas. With a particular focus on African economies, it examines the challenges facing rural areas, including inadequate infrastructure, limited access to essential services, low population density, and ineffective governance. Through integrated approaches to development, community participation, and technological upgrading, the ways that rural areas can be developed to attract investment and utilize natural resources is evaluated. By encouraging community participation, development plans can be created that prioritize sustainability and protect biodiversity and indigenous agriculture.
This book presents a policy framework for economic growth and integration within rural areas. It will be relevant to students, researchers, and policymakers interested in rural, resource, and development economics.
