      abstract = {The State of Food and Agriculture 2000 reports on current  developments and issues of importance for world  agriculture, analysing global agricultural trends as well  as the broader economic environment surrounding the  agricultural sector in a comprehensive world review. Poor  farmers and rural dwellers have long been plagued by a lack  of access to credit. The role of microcredit in rennoving  such constraints and in pronnoting agricultural and rural  development in general is discussed as a selected issue in  the world review. Another issue to be highlighted is the  effect of armed conflicts and civil strife on agriculture  and food security. The review assesses the losses in  agricultural output associated with warfare and presents  strategies for rehabilitation. An important feature of this  year's issue is the special chapter: "World food and  agriculture: lessons from the past 50 years", which gives  an overview of developments that have taken place in world  agriculture and food security over the past half-century. A  note on this chapter can be found on the inside front  cover},
