Abstract
Agricultural growth is a particularly important pathway for addressing the needs of the chronically poor who, as a group, are particularly reliant on agriculture. In summarising key findings on agricultural growth and poverty reduction from country studies commissioned by the Chronic Poverty Research Centre (CPRC), this paper suggests that agricultural growth has been a surprisingly important component of poverty exits, and also finds evidence that agricultural growth helps prevent entries into poverty.
