Researchers at Islamia University of Bahawalpur have conducted a study examining the relationship between renewable energy use, urbanization, and industrialization in shaping carbon emissions in South Asia. The study focused on Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh from 1980-2022 and found that increasing levels of energy consumption, GDP per capita, tourism arrivals, agricultural activities, and industrialization are significant long-term contributors to rising CO2 emissions in these countries. However, implementing sustainable agricultural practices, expanding forest cover, and increasing the output of renewable energy sources could potentially mitigate these emissions. The study recommends that economic growth strategies prioritize low-carbon sectors, accelerate the adoption of renewable energy sources, promote sustainable agricultural and tourism practices, and foster regional collaboration.

The nation's exports are low, and the deficit in foreign trade has been increased by the industrial development program.

The rapid urbanization and industrialization of China in recent years has presented serious challenges for the country in guaranteeing the preservation of agricultural water resources. This study selected four areas in China, each with different water resource and social development conditions. The relationship between the processes of urbanization and industrialization and recent agricultural water use was analyzed using rates of urbanization and the proportion of the added values from secondary and tertiary industries to China's gross domestic product. The analysis showed that overall agricultural water use in China decreases as the processes of urbanization and industrialization proceed. Agricultural water use has decreased in the Huang-Huai-Hai and northwest regions because both have experienced water resource shortages. The impact of industrialization and urbanization is minor in the northeast and southern regions as these areas have abundant water resources; however, the proportion of agricultural water use to total water use has decreased. These results reflect the impact that urbanization and industrialization have on agricultural water use, particularly in terms of how these processes change population structure, industry structure, and comparative benefit. This study advocates for a synergistic development of industrialization, urbanization, and agricultural modernization, and the guarantee of grain safety in China. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It explains that due to the fast population growth in Africa, the extra workforce to be employed in peasant agriculture will make the average size of plot continuously declining.

The article explores the ways in which an agricultural system of mostly small, independent producers feeds a country of nine million and the city of La Paz in Bolivia. The farmers engage in some of the highest-altitude agriculture in the world, another scant few hundred feet and cultivation gives way to grazing, then rock. The other vital element of the Andean food system, and culture, is the concept of reciprocity. Aside from five years' worth of dried potatoes, the Incans had a complex trade system that used the stunning diversity of agroecosystems that their empire encompassed, from 15,000-foot alpine highlands to tropical lowlands where fruit and many other tubers were available year round. The idyllic beauty of the Bolivian countryside has largely been spared the homogenizing influence of industrialization, but many Bolivian farmers express some regret at this fact. Bolivians understand that production can be increased with mechanization and with the use of industrial fertilizers and pesticides. On one hand, this is a country where some 65 percent of the population lives below the poverty line, where many farmers are growing their food primarily to feed their families, and where middlemen sprout like mushrooms on the muddy roads between farm and market.

The restructuring of the swine sector has been a major topic of research among social and natural scientists over the past decade. Biological scientists have drawn correlations between confined agriculture feeding operations (CAFOs) and environmental degradation while social scientists have linked the economic changes to a wide range of socio-cultural problems plaguing rural communities. While this process is generally recognized as the industrialization and concentration of animal agriculture, little attention has been paid to the precise nature of this organizational schema beyond noting a substitution of capital for land and labor and mounting technological dependence corresponding with declining individual autonomy. In this paper, I argue that increasingly the industrialization of swine agriculture resembles the principles of the McDonaldization of society as outlined by Ritzer (1993). The modern swine production facility embraces efficiency, predictability, calculability and control, echoing the organizational arrangement honed by the fast food giant. The consequences of a McDonaldized swine sector, then, lead to a host of irrationalities to which farmers, scientists, consumers, and rural communities are forced to confront. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There was a time when there was a planet but not a world. There were several worlds. One was on the Mediterranean; a second was in India. Explorer Christopher Columbus found a third. There were still others, now there is but one, mechanically. And it is becoming more contracted every day. Along with steam and wire and gasoline, there seems to be forthcoming, for good or ill, an unconscious and inevitable effort toward world crystallization. This shows itself especially in industry. A number of world-scale industrial enterprises have been achieved, or projected, the Panama and Suez canals; the Trans-Siberian and the Cape-to-Cairo railways; continental systems of giant power; industrialization of agriculture.

The article discusses the final draft of India's Fourth Five Year Plan as of May 1969.

Bountiful harvests in the past two years reportedly ensure the current plan focuses more on a free market economy and allows the country to recognize its dependence on agriculture.

The article assesses the accomplishments of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE).

The industrialization led to the two most important accomplishments of ASABE in the last century. The first was the emancipation of people from the clutches of farm labor in search of other useful endeavors. Second, ASABE proved a prediction wrong that population increase would outpace food production.
