To the Hands of the Poor: Water and Trees

Published on 1 January 1989

To the Hands of the Poor explores how poor people can gain more from rural India’s vast and often underestimated potential from groundwater and from growing trees. Starting with the livelihoods and priorities of the poor themselves, the authors use empirical evidence and practical political economy to identify new and implementable policies.
