Abstract

The previous chapter dealt with building and implementing the planning framework on the national level, or macro-planning. This chapter is concerned with the ‘cells of the organism’ or with micro-planning, the production units and their organization including the reciprocity between the farmer and his farm at the village level. The intermediate level, that of the region, will be the subject in the chapter following.
