agriculture is our base -industry our future?
927555
As industry is advanced it will produce better and more products. It will help agriculture be done in more productive ways. Jute bags are the best carrier for what? Not for many things. It is itchy for carrying personal things and not good for carrying shopping items. It comes off on your clothes if you put them in a jute bag. Technology is the wave of tomorrow so get on the band wagon.◄

we have two types - field corn (to feed our animals/chicken and corn by products) and sweet corn (to eat! to freeze/can)--just to name a couple of things.  \n\nand like the other poster said now it will be the ethanol 'thing' which is ALREADY making our gas more expensive.... we will never learn....

Agriculture generally requires large area of land and is land intensive. Land is ever becoming a scarce resource as world population is keeping exploding as a result of which the existing household per capita land is decreasing and hence people are cutting down forests in search of additional land for agriculture. On the other hand household lands are being monopolized by big commercial farms driving household farmers into towns. Still in some places household farmers are changing int producing high value products that do not need big land area.This has brought about a change in agriculture pattern in many areas of the world.

I think farmers in the U.S. are very important to this day.\n\nNot only was this country primarily built on the backs of farmers, but today they still provide for everyone.\n\nWe should all have respect for farmers and the jobs they do for this country.\n\nGoverment help for farmers is helpful I think.

I guess you need 3 products and the associated technologies that made them possible.\n1. The development of axial rotation (and not the wheel only) made possible modern road transportation.  Cars, etc.\n\n2 Farming made possible to feed growing population, and the corn flake made possible to store for longer periods of time a dry food that only requires milk and that is why is so popular around the globe.\n\n3 Solar energy is considered a technology of the future, although we now have several solar panes that are efficent. They provide clean energy and are cost effective in the long run.

It is the theory that - and pardon the layman's use of terms and simplification - man's population growth will overcome the ability of its agricultural resources to feed it. Given two groups of roughly equal people, the one with superior agricultural resources will grow faster than the one without (or with fewer) resources. \nThe theory appears to hold validity when applied to the animal world, but becomes more difficult to predict when the point of overbudening will occur with human beings. This may be due to a number of reasons, not the least which of them are technological advances in agriculture.

The future of biotechnology is bright.If you move to the area of agriculture, the scope is immense.There are food plants that need to be protected from pests and made to cope with less water content. In terms of quality of produce, there is some scope of improvement.\nIn pharmacology several biochemically engineered  drugs are to be manufactured.There are large number of labs in different parts of the world that have taken up the challenging task of manufacturing drugs that afflict mankind.GENE THERAPY is being talked about.All you have to do is be in touch with  latest techniques and use your computer to find out latest developments.If you are in India, get in touch with people at CCMB at Hyderabad, and JNU. You may even visit some of the progressive labs for stimulating your thoughts.

I totally agree with you. We should build big, indoor, climate-controlled farms. This way we will can grow the food our peoples need no matter what the weather decides to do with itself. These big, indoor farms could even become the prototypes for farms on space stations or colonies on planets that have no weather or extreme weather. Mass starvation is avoidable, at this point in time. I would also like to add, at this point, that genetically modified vegetables are much more acceptable to the American consumer than GM meats. These farms could be at the fore-front of advanced farming techniques. \n\nThe climate changes all by itself. We HAVE contributed to this batch of it, but we are not the only reason it is changing. We cannot, currently, stop or reverse the climate change. The only option open to us is adapt or die.

Absolutely. \n\nIt's where our future lies, whether we render this planet inhospitible by ourselves or through some natural disaster, that's where we'll have to go.

Ideustries based on agricultural products as raw material.\nAgro based industries may be grouped into different classes.\n\nIn some case simple processing is involved such as floor, corn mills.\nSome involve complex industrial processes such as sugar mills, paper mills.\nSome industries involve processing and conversion such as food mills, textile mills, wood factories.\n\nOn the whole agro base industries are important part of industrial nations. Except for countries like Japan, industrial base of countries is agro based industry.

I really believe in the future we are not going to have a shortage of college educated, degree holding, psychology majoring, individuals in this country....and there is nothing wrong with that...but a shortage of well trained and qualified mechanics, plumbers, carpenters, electricians, hospital workers, etc....supply and demand will dictate the degree of compensation. Our manufacturing industries are all but lost due to so many factors that would take hours to talk about, and that is sad. I agree with you, we need revamping of the system.....from the top down.

I do.  What are we going to do though?  With a rising population you have to put them somewhere right?  I'm for setting aside large chunks of land as reserves now while we have them to set aside.  Unfortunately, our culture's attitude towards land usage and the environment in general is ignore, ignore, ignore, panic.  I don't think we've reached panic yet, but we will. I'm not for the grid system either.  I think that is one of the worst ideas of all time.  Like in Arizona, for example, the land that can be developed, and the land that can't, are arranged in a checkerboard.  So what happens to animals that roam or migrate?  When all the 'boxes' of land have been developed around the reserved block the animals inside are cut off - the population either has to move to another block or it dwindles and possibly dies off.  Plus they have all kinds of run ins with the surrounding communities.  Some people that live in these communities think that it doesn't adversely affect the environment but it does.  They say "What do you mean?  The deer aren't dying off - I just had one in my backyard the other day."  They don't see how that is a problem.  The checkerboard is not a solution - it just worsens the effect of development.  And Phoenix is a classic example of urban sprawl.  Like a cancerous tumor its neverending grid of streets spreads out in all directions.  We aren't there yet - and we may not see it in our lifetimes - but the earth is so going to kick all of our a**e* eventually.   And, as a cultural, we will stand bug-eyed and bewildered - scratching our collective empty head over how it came to this.

agriculture used to be back bone of indian economy it is no more so for various oblivious reasons.  agriculture is like any other industry as there is uncertenity looming over like any other industry here nature plays vital role and for other industries the deman and policy of government plays role so other industrys fate is man made and for agriculture it is both nature/god and man made a farmer if properly study the pattern of production it is possible for him to understand the cycle of change in environment and can plan his production in fact earlier farmers where more scientific and specific for they had understood what to grow when and next to what for insects attacking one plant used to be food for some other so this kind of loss use to be negligent next come the excess production this is easy to tackle as it is pure marketing both perishible and non preishable products can be either stored properly or converted into other eatery and then be sold in market for example onion or potato or tomato it is common scene in india where villagers throw it on streets and make big news it is ridiculus grow products in controlled environment not necessary to be in closed or artificial environment and then either sell it to contries who need it either directly as it is or by converting it for ex chips/wafers when it comes to potato or onion sauce or juice when it comes to tomato there are export promotion councils who are ably administering the situation one can take help and run it like any other industry\nactually the subsidies given to farmers are more than required which is why they are playing like this is what i feel a situation should araise where in industrialists take up farming as business and sell it thru chain of retail outlets so that things become alright and even farmer will have less grouse but unfortunate thing for hm will be he will virtually become employee of the chain owner which he mostly prefers to rather than working hard and manage his own farm \nas comparision to other industry here the product is food items vis-a-vis materialist products like auto etc \nthere production is done with macheneries and here it is natural \nthere the variants are like power, raw material, market demand,  finance and involvement of both management and working force\nhere it is just nature timely water is required apart from right seeds and harvesting process apart from involvement of farmer.\nnature can be made predictable if right practices are followed
