Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book from the 1970s, by a British expert in agriculture, argues that modern agriculture is not a declining industry, simply because an advance in farming methods allows fewer workers to feed the growing population, and to free more workers for other industries. Instead, he argues, agriculture has historically developed at different rates, and in certain parts of the developing world is still a major part of human communities.
