              Synopsis        This  course  discusses  the  importance  of  agricultural  development  within  the
                              context  of  national  economic  development.  Overall  understanding  of  agricultural
                              development  requires  three  components  which  are  interlinked:  the  share  of
                              agriculture  to  the  overall  national  economic  development,  economic  situation  of
                              traditional  agriculture,  and  economic  changes  arising  from  agricultural
                              modernization. These three components encompass the objectives of agricultural
                              development which form the basis for the development process and the changes
                              needed for national development.
