During the survey, it is observed that villages are replaced by
modern, concentrated urban areas, and that agricultural areas are
undergoing large soil remediation efforts and reorganization, pre-
sumably to reinvigorate the soil and intensify agriculture activities,
while improving the livelihood and living standards of inhabitants
of the villages that are replaced. Therefore, the observed situation
regarding small-scale family farming could change once these ad-
aptations are completed in the future.
