2. Concept of Agriculture and Rural Development
The concept of rural development must therefore be
considered with particular reference to agriculture, since
agriculture is the basis of the livelihood of most rural
families. In the past two decades there has been increasing
emphasis on rural development programmes and projects,
and recognition that the development of rural areas is just
as important as the building up of urban, industrial
complexes. Development must have two legs: urban
industrialization and rural improvement.

4. Why is agriculture necessary to the
development of civilization?
• The reason that we have permanent civilizations is because of agriculture. With the
development of agriculture, communities did not have to follow the herds in order to have
food to eat. Now that there were permanent civilizations, there needed to be permanent homes
for residents, so permanent homes were built. To produce the mass amounts of food, the
farmers needed extra help, which led them to domesticate animals. The final issue of these
civilizations was the lack of water in certain areas. This dilemma was then solved by irrigation
canals, and used in many different communities. As more and more permanent civilizations
began to develop, so did trade routes. Through these trade routes, residents had access to new,
beautiful, and expensive products, such as copper and colored cloth. Finally social classes
were developed. Those who owned expensive things (colored cloth) were part of the upper
class, and those who opened less expensive goods (regular tan cloth) were part of the lower
class. Agriculture had a profound effect on civilizations, causing them to become permanent,
and the development of social classes, trade routes, and irrigation canals.

9. The Concept of Rural Development
• Rural: As per the Webster’s dictionary
rural means “open land” and according to
the United States census rural includes all
persons living outside urban area and who
live on farm. Agriculture is generally the
main occupation in rural areas.
• Development: It refers to growth,
evolution, and stage of inducement or
progress.

13. Conclusion
There are very strong reasons why resources should now be put
into rural development. More than half the people of the world and
the vast majority of the people in developing countries (Asia, Africa
and Latin America) live in rural areas and gain part or all of their
livelihoods from some form of agriculture. Most of these people are
also still very poor and dependent on agricultural practices that have
benefited little from modern technology. They live in isolated and
often inhospitable places, with little access to the resources they
need to improve their agriculture. Many lead their lives barely at
subsistence level. Solely in terms of numbers of people, there is a
very strong case for giving high priority to rural development.
