      abstract = {This book offers a systematic examination of poverty,  inequality, and innovation from a perspective of the Global  South. It examines and foregrounds historical backgrounds,  context, measurements, policies, programmes, approaches to  services including continuous monitoring and evaluation  processes.

Dinbabo, Professor of  Development Studies, University of the Western Cape, Cape  Town, South Africa A brilliant book on the nexus between  poverty, inequality, innovation and development.

Oliver  Mtapuri is Professor at the School of Built Environment and  Development Studies, University of KwaZulu Natal, South  Africa. This edited volume analyzes the experiences learned  in practice especially among small holder farmers to  eradicate poverty. In other words, it discusses practical  solutions which small scale farmers can use to alleviate  poverty and reduce inequality. This addresses the issue of  inclusive and sustainability of projects leading to the  notion of not leaving anyone behind. The book provides  insights that can be translated into policy with potential  to inform practice. It also has the potential to address  the issue of rural urban migration by providing knowledge  that is usable by small scale farmers, policy makers and  entrepreneurs alike. The volume is written by authors from  different countries, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe,  indicating the commonality of the problems of poverty and  inequality. It contains insights from all these countries  assembled together into an amalgam of practices ready to  use and implement informed by evidence from the field as  most of the chapters are based on empirical data.},
