There is limited anthropological research on this topic, but plenty from economic and public policy perspectives

I am torn between a few topics. Every time I read something new it shifts my direction.

Amartya Sen, commenting on the Bengal Famine, writes that "(it) was essentially a rural phenomenon. Urban areas, especially Calcutta, substantially insulated from rising food prices by subsidized distribution schemes, saw it mainly in the form of an influx of rural destitutes." Highlights the significance of the intersection of rural/urban divide, mobility of people, social metabolism etc when engaging with the issues of agriculture which prima facie appears as a entirely rural issue.

The promise of development follows by the sense of ownership as identity (in this case, Brazil and football), make it easier to push to support the project. Even when it ended up non-benefecial for the people

The majority of 'academic' sources within historiography (which is a big part of what I am looking into) are written by European historians/philosophers and thus are written based on Western thought/knowledge systems. This is something I am trying to challenge, but I am struggling to find as many alternative sources.

One of my key references has already addressed the issue I'm interested in. I'm not quite sure how I should further develop my research question to avoid repeating existing arguments.

The discourse of development, which is ostensibly aimed at helping the poor or improving the ecological environment, has not been particularly effective, yet it continues to be carried out. I want to understand the underlying reasons—take, for example, the pastoralist resettlement programs designed to protect grasslands.
