Presents a review of theoretical arguments about agricultural structures, and defines family farming. This book analyses the conditions of access to land and water, labour, livestock, tools and seed and reviews marketing arrangements and how they have changed since 1900. It explores issues of the farmer as steward of the environment.

Traces the evolution of ideas about world inequality and the problem of development from the days before the 'underdeveloped countries' were considered to be a major problem, through the years dominated by 'economic growth', to the more searching approaches of the contemporary era.
