Debate 3: Climate Change and Development

• Theory: Environmental Kuznets Curve (pollution rises then falls with growth).
• Practice: Low-income countries are hit first and worst. A modern PDF must cover "climate-resilient development" and the Green Climate Fund.

Practice Area D: Agricultural Development

• Theory: Induced innovation (Hayami-Ruttan). Farmers adopt new tech based on factor prices (labor vs. land scarcity).
• Practice: Hybrid seeds, fertilizer subsidies, and mobile-based weather insurance. The practical toolkit: how to distribute subsidized inputs without creating black markets.
