Farmers on the hook for millions after Trump freezes USDA funds The White House had repeatedly said the funding freeze would not impact benefits that go directly to individuals.

Farmers report missing millions of dollars of funding they were promised by the U.S. Agriculture Department, despite promises from the Trump administration that a federal funding freeze would not apply to projects directly benefiting individuals.

In my previous article on JRS, I introduced neo-exogenous development to explain China’s state-led rural networked development model under Rural Revitalization/RRS.

Many scholars use neo-endogenous development to explain multi-actor participation in China’s Rural Revitalization Strategy. However, in my paper coauthored with Prof Nick Gallent, we argue it is essentially state-led networked development
