Assessing the Impacts of Technology on Southern Agriculture and Rural Communities: Discussion

Christina H. Gladwin

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 1988, vol. 20, issue 1, 53-55

Abstract: 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.”
