Multi functionality of agriculture in the developed countries is employed as a means of rural revitalization and economic circulation. Although farm diversification in the developing countries is much more crucial, in most of the rural areas of the developing countries, it is not performed, and it is delayed. In this regard, the main objective of this study is to explore the possibilities of the multi functionality of agriculture for the sustainable rural development for the implementation of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) in the developing countries. The empirical study was conducted in two of the rural districts of Nepal called Nuwakot and Rasuwa. The author intentionally chose these districts because it is one separate area north of the capital city Kathmandu and bordering to China. Further, even though the location is nearby the capital city, and the rural villages have excessive potentials for tourism activities, the farmers are still focusing on subsistence farming without getting benefits from tourism. Based on the macro data of Nepal government and field visit, the author conducted a case study. This study explored that most of the household heads are working in the agricultural sector, which can be one of the opportunities to launch multi functionality of agriculture. However, due to their weak educational background, they are expecting external supports in terms of knowledge, technology, and more importantly, supportive policy. The federal and central government should give subsidy to the farmers so that they canstart multi functionality in their farms, which lead to sustainable rural development.

Conflict Model

Rural development programmes have been undertaken by the governments of developing countries not only to uplift the rural poor but also to introduce modern techniques or innovations for bringing about changes in desirable directions. One of the ingredients for the success of the programmes is the active association and willing cooperation of the rural people. How can this be achieved ? Two intervention techniques are discussed in depth: the harmony model and the conflict model. The latter model, the author concludes, has the potency in mobilizing people at grass roots for effective and active participation.

Social And Economic Development

Rural accessibility means more than just reliable roads and cost-effective transportation networks. Rural accessibility is critical for achieving social and economic development in low-income developing countries such as Bangladesh where both rural and urban development are constrained by significant infrastructural deficiencies. It is also an important factor that determines the effects of natural disasters on these resource-constrained societies, since both disaster responses and sustainable development are compromised by poor rural accessibility. Using two contrasting case studies from Bangladesh, this article reveals the significance of improved rural accessibility on rural development and the effects of natural disasters on rural areas. The findings of this article suggest that the improvement of rural accessibility should be a top national development priority, since it increases the opportunities for sustainable social and economic development and reduces the adverse effects of natural disasters on the rural areas in developing countries such as Bangladesh.

Course Of Action

With the commencement of economic reforms, the emphasis on decentralization has increased, especially because new partners in both decentralization and development are emerging.  In this new era where scope for government intervention is reduced, more and more research is needed to examine how far and how efficiently decentralization can be used as a strategy for rural development in developing countries like India. This paper proposes to bring out the case for making a special institutional arrangement with a view to enable people to participate in decentralized planning for rural development.  It focuses attention on making such an arrangement in the reform era.  Further both the new opportunities favourable for people’s participation and challenges that confront are identified for pinpointing the needed future course of action.

Large Farms

In Europe, as in Russia and the U.S.A., economic agricultural production is becoming centred more and more on large farms; in developing countries the basic family holding is usually a small plot. A 300-acre intensive dairy farm, with integrated crops and pastures, has been carefully costed over several years, and shows one way in which groups of African workers, under guidance and with specialist advice, can begin to help themselves.
