Technology has mechanized agriculture: Technology has mechanized agriculture : Modern agricultural technology allows a small number of people to grow vast quantities of food in a short period of time with less input which results into high yields and RIO ”return on investment”.
Through government subsidies, small and medium sized farmers have managed to acquire ploughing, sowing, watering and harvesting machines.
The use of technology in agriculture has also resulted into the manufacturing of genetic crops which can grow fast and they can be resistant to many pests and diseases. Also farmers have access to artificial fertilizers which add value to the soil and boost the growth of their crops and enable them to produce high quality yields.
