520			_aThe Renaissance Farm books are interdisciplinary primers written for those who are involved in or who support rural development. Book I: Understanding Agriculture and Rural Economic Growth highlights the economic and ecological realities of the small family farm. Book II: Supporting Agriculture and Rural Economic Growth, examines the role of the development organization in supporting farm families who cope with these economic and environmental realities. In simple, straightforward language with photos and illustrations, The Renaissance Farm books include examples of development successes and failures, share observations and lessons from the field, clarify the challenges and realities of rural development work and provide guidance for donors and practitioners who understand that the rich interconnectedness and complexities of smallholder farm life demand complete, rather than partial, responses and support. These books were written for development practitioners in all development sectors whose work touches in some way on the lives of smallholder farm families. The books are appropriate for those who know nothing about small-scale farming or rural economies, and they are appropriate for seasoned practitioners who may understand their own work in agriculture, health or microfinance, but are not as familiar with the work of other sectors in supporting the small farm family.
