- Description
- Poverty is one of the worst problems prevailing in the world. The poorest in the world are often without food, have little or no access to education, basic amenities of life, and lack health facilities. Eradication of Global Poverty eradication is a herculean and complex task. The origination of 2030 Agenda to eradicate poverty was done after the successful completion of the anti-poverty Millennium Development Goal, but still, a vast number of people were living in poverty and a great number among them were living in extreme poverty. So, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development called for the eradication of poverty in all poverty in forms from every corner of the world by almost half. In backward and developing nations, poverty is more rampant in rural areas. The economies of most of these nations are predominantly based on Agriculture and therefore progress in agriculture is viewed as a potent tool to eradicate rural poverty. However, there are serious issues that are required to be addressed in this regard. This chapter explores some vital issues related to agriculture which require the attention of the policymakers, to achieve the objective of reducing rural poverty through advancement in agriculture. 2023 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
