Farmers & markets in Tanzania : how policy reforms affect rural livelihoods in Africa

The role of African agriculture in global markets and the role of agriculture in national economies have changed profoundly since the 1980s. Economic reforms have forced the withdrawal of the state from agricultural markets. Livelihoods have become increasingly commercialised. Rural households are restructuring the ways they manage their economic activities and transforming their social relations. This book's theoretical and empirical material will interest policymakers, development practitioners and scholars of development studies, political economy, economics, political science, and sociology.
