Assessing the Impacts of Technology on Southern Agriculture and Rural Communities: Discussion
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 April 2015
Extract
In an excellent analysis, Dr. Ghebremedhin discusses the impacts of technological changes on “small versus large farms, public costs in rural communities, and the future direction of research needs.” I cannot but wholeheartedly agree with some of his conclusions; e.g., that “technology has increased agricultural productivity and created new jobs, but it has also displaced persons from their occupations and livelihood.”
