- catalog abstract ""Sustainable development in marginal areas, especially in those where rural poverty and environmental degradation are interwoven, is a great concern of development agencies worldwide, and much effort is put into development programmes, technology transfer schemes and so on. The problem is particularly acute in China, where increasing regional differences and inequality are eroding governmental poverty-reduction efforts and exacerbating ecological crises." "This book, based on extensive original research, examines the situation in China, especially in the Loess Plateau of Shaanxi province. It explores, in particular, by what means or mechanisms the poor join together to learn and adopt new technologies, and what farmer self-organising innovation means for development professionals improving their extension services in these areas."--Jacket.".
