Using agriculture for development: Supply- and demand-side approaches

Highlights: • We review how agriculture-based countries can use agriculture for development. • An Agriculture for Development sequence aims at asset building, productivity growth, agricultural & rural transformations. • Critical instruments for success are constraint removal on technology adoption and development of inclusive value chains. • These instruments can be used from the supply-side with public agents and from the demand-side with private agents. • While the supply-side has been extensively researched, the demand-side is less explored and we offer a research agenda.
