Thanks for the book recommendation and your inputs on the concrete industry, interesting to see the parallels!
Yeah, I also wonder about neglectedness. Just did a quick Google search and saw that both Oxfam and the Gates Foundation include agricultural development in their focus areas. I assume that if two prominent charities in the global development field are working on agricultural interventions, other organizations are likely to work on them as well. I don’t know how effective their efforts are though. I could imagine that – as it’s the case with global health interventions – some agricultural development interventions might be one or more orders of magnitude more effective than others. But I’m not aware of any resources or research comparing possible/​existing interventions in this field.
