Alternative Pathways out of Rural Poverty in Mexico.

摘要：

The article discusses three paths away from rural poverty outlined in the 2008 World Development report of the World Bank, as they apply to Mexico. The three paths--farming, labor, and migration--are assessed in the context of neoliberal policy reforms, with attention to the following issues: national and international rural labor migration; fair trade and organic agricultural production; and possible Mexican agricultural policy reforms, especially ones oriented toward small-scale farming, proposed by independent peasant organizations associated with the "sin maíz no hay país" (no country without corn) movement.
