Rural Development

"On this one planet there are many worlds"

What happens to the world’s rural majority is an essential and too often overlooked component of our urban-biased analyses. China’s experience with rural development over the past 60 years provides a wealth of information on a wide range of policy approaches in practice. Rural-Urban dichotomies no longer neatly apply, and circular migration and other complex linkages point to the need for integrated policy analysis. Action2030 is actively engaged in several research projects in rural areas from which we draw insights for our analysis of rural development policy, and innovations for the future. These include long-term research in northeast and southwest China, as well as field sites in rural Nepal, northeast India, and Brazil.
