Technology transfer is not simply copying technologies passively from others, but an active and creative process of adaptation that recognizes indigenous capabilities. The establishment of small-scale industries in rural areas will help in reducing poverty and unemployment. At the same time, it is an efficient way of preventing migration from the rural areas to urban by creating new employment opportunities in the villages. The majority of rural populations in developing countries and least developed countries are lacking agro based small-scale enterprises that give judicious income to farmers through value addition to their agri-produce. What is needed is a fresh and comprehensive approach, integrating crop production enhancement and value addition of the produce through village-based agroindustries, involving farmers as stakeholders in processing their own produce. date: 2013 date_type: published publisher: International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics place_of_pub: Patancheru, Andhra Pradesh, India pagerange: 76-98 pages: 240 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-92-9066-555-7 book_title: Developing a Sweet Sorghum Ethanol Value Chain related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?q=allintitle%3A+%22Models+for+sweet+sorghum+feedstock+management+for+ethanol%22&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5 related_url_type: pub citation: Ravinder Reddy, Ch and Rao, P P and Karuppan Chetty, S M and Ashok Kumar, A and Srinivas, I (2013) Models for sweet sorghum feedstock management for ethanol.
