      abstract = {This Open Access book explores the multifaceted nature of  agricultural and rural development in Asia and examines the  extent to which the Asian experience is being replicated in  contemporary Africa. This volume compiles the works of top  scholars who provided analyses and evidences from  household-level surveys collected for many years in several  parts of Asia and Africa. The most important finding  presented in this book is that African agricultural  development has evolved following the pathways of Asian  agricultural development. The common pathways are borrowed  technology from abroad and adaptive research in rice  farming; secured property rights on natural resources;  adoption of ICTs; investments in human capital, including  training; and launching of the high-value agriculture. In  both continents, agricultural development started in the  crop sector, which had a strong tendency to induce the  dynamic development of other sectors in rural areas.},
