Agricultural Industrialization
Agricultural industrialization refers to the transformation of farming practices through advanced technologies, machinery, and large-scale production methods. It involves the integration of industrial processes into agriculture, such as using automated equipment for planting and harvesting, applying chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and adopting biotechnology for crop improvement. This shift aims to increase efficiency and productivity, enabling farmers to produce more food with fewer resources. While it can lead to higher output and lower costs, agricultural industrialization also raises concerns about environmental impact, loss of biodiversity, and the socioeconomic effects on small-scale farmers and rural communities.
