OTHER WORLD BANK PUBLICATIONS ON AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT

The Agriculture and Rural Develpoment Network produces several different types of publications:

  Economic and Sector Work (ESW):  feature original analysis of agriculture and rural development issues that seek to create discussion within the broad development community.

  ARD Discussion Papers:  are more informal papers that introduce new topics being investigated by ARD staff and consultants.

  ARD Notes:  are 4-page pieces that summarize an issue for a largely non-specialist audience.

  The  Agriculture and Rural Development Series:  are officially published by the World Bank. These are manuscripts (1-3 per year) that have a broader audience and are therefore marketed through the World Bank's Office of the Publisher. They are available through the InfoShop, the Bank's e-commerce site, and through World Development Sources.
