Abstract

While it is known that agricultural expansion is critical to growth in nonfarm sectors of rural regions, the extent and mechanisms of economic interdependency between agriculture and other sectors remains an inadequately understood aspect of the rural†urban economic growth dynamic. Least well understood are the linkages between household farm income and development of town economies. This paper presents findings from rural†urban exchange research in rural regions of Kenya and Somalia that provide insights into relationships between agriculture and the nonfarm economy, and offers conclusions for rural regional development strategies.
