Agricultural growth and social protection: can we have both?

9 December 2005 13:00-14:30 (GMT+00) - Public event, London

  • This event discussed the different perspectives of those concerned with agricultural growth, and those with social protection.
    Agricultural growth will not alleviate all rural poverty. In the short run, it is likely that substantial numbers of the poor will benefit only a little if at all from such growt h. Social protection will be needed to assist the very poor. But how can such social protection be offered in ways that are both efficient and effective, and that also complement growth?
