Strong agricultural growth has been a consistent feature of countries that have successfully managed to reduce poverty. GDP growth generated in agriculture is, on average,four times more effective in benefiting the poorest half of the population than growth generated outside agriculture, although this effect declines as countries get richer.Poverty rates have declined more rapidly than undernourishment. Where inequality is high and where a sizeable number of extremely poor people live in relative isolation from the broader economy, those at the bottom of the income scale typically benefit very little from economic growth.
