Small Farm Improvement Strategies--the Implications of a Computer Simulation Study of Indigenous Farming in South--east Ghana.
This paper outlines the methodology and findings of a village level farm management study in South-east Ghana. A linear prograrnming model is used to investigate the production response of farmers to the introduction of mechanisation, crop technology and credit innovations. The results are presented...

A linear prograrnming model is used to investigate the production response of farmers to the introduction of mechanisation, crop technology and credit innovations. The results are presented and their research, extension and policy implications are discussed. It is considered that the results support the argument for undertaking detailed farm level studies in order to understand the nature of existing farming systems as a basis for assessing the possibilities for their improvement. The results also suggest that the present states of technical knowledge and research orientation are biased in favour of the better-off farmers and, as such, do not provide a suitable basis for recommendations consistent with equality, which governments profess to be their objective. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Development Studies is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
