Globalization and Traceability of Agricultural Production: The Role of Mechanization
نویسنده
چکیده
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 agricultural mechanization with particular reference to the state of agriculture in the U.S. Prof. Paolo De Castro addresses this topic with reference European conditions.
