AGRICOLA AGE 85925741, Extract: This study examined returns to scale for three categories of rice farms in a region of Guyana where there have been differential rates of technology adoption. It identified the various factors which affected rice production and assessed their relative importance on output. Production functions have been used in analyzing problems of resource allocation in peasant agriculture. These enable a comparison of relative performance of farmers, between farm types, and between geographical areas.

Proceedings of the International Conference on Rural Development Technology : an Integrated Approach, June 21-24, 1977, Bangkok, Thailand. Bangkok, Thailand: Asian Institute of Technology, 1977. p. 711-724., Started spontaneously by a couple of village women cassava workers, in reaction to a social injustice that was being perpetrated in our village, the group had no other objective, at first, than wanting to solve that particular problem. The solution they worked out - a cooperative, economic one - soon attracted a large number of other villagers. Together they became the Bantu Society. Economic success and interaction within the group also made them generally aware of the social underdevelopment of their families, and this led to a wide range of socio-economic activities which now comprise a closely-integrated village development programme.
