Evidence from three models of land and agricultural commercialization: Impacts on local livelihoods in Zambia, Cape Town: Institute for Poverty Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS).http://hdl.handle.net/10566/4444The approach favoured by most donors is to stimulate growth in smallholder agriculture by a variety of interventions ranging from production technology to market development.
