Stories of change: transforming lives through agricultural and rural development

A new book, published in March 2014, from the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA)  provides a snapshot of CTA’s achievements during the last decade. It is a celebration, rather than a conventional impact assessment, and it provides an insight into the broad range of activities that CTA has supported through partnerships across Africa, Caribbean and the Pacific (ACP).

Some of the stories focus on activities that are directly helping to improve the productivity and incomes of small-scale farmers and fishers. Some describe the support to academic institutions and researchers. Others give a flavour of the many policy processes in which CTA is playing an active role. All are contributing, in one way or another, to the goal of improving food security and reducing poverty.

The book of 72 pages is available full-text online here although it can also be ordered online.
