7 pages, via online journal, Despite large investments in research to modernize African agriculture, enabling it to fulfil its potential, traditional agriculture still predominates. To many, the lack of adoption of knowledge generated through agricultural research is due either to the inexplicable functioning of the farmer's decision-making process or to a set of issues so complex that it is not clear how they could ever be overcome. This paper reviews a project in Sub-Saharan Africa in which bean pest management became a tool through which communities were empowered to address a wide range of development issues. This paper suggests that what needs to be altered substantially is the way scientists view and interact with the poor.

Findings show more stress among Northern Cheyenne Indians of southeastern Montana who use Food Stamps than among those who use a combination of local programs and informal subsistence sources.
AGE 84925159, Previous research leaves many questions to be answered about the effects of rurality on rates of serious social disruptions. The premise of this study is that rurality affects opportunities for disruption in social interaction. Further, it is argued that structural cleavages provoke disruptions where opportunities are conducive. The combinations of rurality with particular structural cleavages, therefore, predict specific patterns of disruption. Findings of a canonical analysis, with data for counties of the northeastern United States, show that rurality, in combination with other population characteristics, affects the rates of nonlethal violence, homicide, suicide, and divorce. The most generalized pattern includes a low rate of nonlethal violence and high rates of homicide, suicide, and divorce. An understanding of patterns of disruption in modern society can be enhanced by focusing on the effects of rurality.

Posted on http://www.youtube.com > Search on "p. sainath", Via You Tube, Features the thoughts of an award-winning journalist in India, P. Sainath Palagummi Sainath, about what he identifies as serious gaps in mass media coverage. He observes that due to the advertiser-driven environment for media organizations, national media are not interested in serving the information needs of rural residents and the poor, generally. National media do not have "rural" or "poverty" beats, he explains, although residents in those categories make up the majority of the population in India. He urges media to signal the weaknesses in society as well as the areas of progress.
