Changes in Farm Economy and Agricultural Mechanization

The economical situation at agricultural industry has been changed rapidly in Korea for the last 40 years. The population in farming area decreased sharply and the labor demand increased dramatically. The portion of the old and women has been increased. The farm size, and farm rural wage have been increased. Those were the driving forces of the mechanization in agricultural industry. The Agricu...

Globalization and Traceability of Agricultural Production: The Role of Mechanization

The topic evolved from the belief that the new trend on traceability of products is related also to an appropriate mechanization and that each machine has to answer to the quality requirements of food needed by the market (Prof. Giuseppe Pellizzi, personal communication, 2002). In this paper, we address the topic of traceability in agriculture and what traceability means to the future of agricu...

Economic and social consequences of agricultural mechanization in rural settlements Case: rural district of South Astarābād in Gorgan County

Introduction Todays, the importance of agricultural development and putting more value on it, unlike past days, is concluded from the fact that in the process of economic development program, an increasing attention is given to social welfare goals in addition to other goals of increasing revenue. In every society, at times of population increase, the increase of agricultural products, which...
