Abstract: Abstract The desirable level of agriculture in the advanced industrial economies is not a simple concept which can be established independently of the general environment of the particular economy. Some of the advanced economies, such as Canada or the United States, even if now considerably industrialized, have a predominantly agricultural background of history and rich agricultural resources. And the plains of Western Europe, even if now one of the world’s greatest centres of industry, led in the development of the modern economy largely because they represented one of the richest agricultural areas of the temperate zone.
