Effects of the Generation Gap in Agriculture

Rapid population growth has made the hungry population grow faster every day. Agricultural experts are constantly improving their skills to keep up with the ever-increasing population with constantly changing technology. How do you solve this problem? Many people think it is as easy as it raises more food; but growing more food is not easy. In order to increase the amount of food necessary to feed 9 billion people in 2050, time, perseverance, education, and working with all people are necessary.

There are several agronomic and socioeconomic reasons to fill the yield gap. As precision agriculture becomes more and more important, the possibility of shrinking the production gap further increases. For example, in Australia, the average rice yield in 1985/89 was 6.8 ton / ha, in 1995/99 it was boosted to 8.4 ton / ha, and many individual farmers received 10 to 12 ton / ha. Existing available production differences should be viewed as future growth opportunities, consistent with the agricultural ecological, socio-economic, political and technical environment of major producers and institutions. An important issue is whether such opportunities exist in small farmers with poor Asia's small resources, most of which live in rainwater and other less popular areas.

V. Science and technology to solve the problem: food security, poverty alleviation and sustainable development

In the 1960s there was a new consensus that agricultural growth is important for industrialization and overall economic growth (if not prerequisite). However, the growth process itself of agriculture is still not of concern to most development economists. Technology changes and institutional evolution are regarded as external factors of those systems. In this article, we review the evolution of ideas on the agricultural development process, which is implied in many literature on agriculture and economic development, and elaborate on the introduction techniques and systems we use in our own agricultural development process research. Concept of innovation; Discuss the influence of induced innovation on the strategic design of agricultural development of national and regional areas.
