Van Gorcum Assen. ISBN90-232-2938-x Beyond Modernization discusses whether or not modernization is to be regarded as an unavoidable process determining the destiny of agriculture. This question is not just interesting from a theoretical and historical point of views, it has important implications for the future.
A continued scale-enlargement, intensification and specialization at farm level, a sharp decline in employment levels and an integration of farming into agri-business chains, are increasingly felt as dead-end roads. Simultaneously, endogenous development emerges as promising alternative to the pattern and internal logic of modernization. This book examines alternative models and strategies and offers a stimulating overview of new development trends in European agriculture.
