Diversidad territorial y crecimiento inclusivo in el valle de Jiquiriçá en el noreste de Brasil

This Latin American Rural Territorial Dynamics programme case study (see also: http://www.rimisp.org/wp-content/files_mf/1366299823N722011QuanRuizSantosTerritorialdiversityinclusivegrowthJiquiricaValleyBrazil.pdf ) revealed diverse development trajectories underlying common indicator trends suggesting inclusive growth is underway. Small farmer land access and integration into diversified markets were central to inclusive prosperity in part of the area studied, where a localised social coalition achieved significant productive and institutional innovations. In areas where traditional latifundia and unsustainable land management practices still dominate, growth and poverty reduction rely on Federal income transfers. Brazil’s rural development policies have so far failed to address these dynamics and invest in capacity to scale up and transfer effective local innovations.
