The Impacts of Agricultural Modernization
How people are effected-Cyclical movement is discouraged by the government and hunter gatherers are encouraged to settle somewhere and farm.
-Organizations build wells, medical buildings, permanent houses, and schools are built to persuade hunter gatherers to settle. -Those who still hunter and gather do so in context of the world economy. -The term "subsistence farming" is used strictly, only for those who solely grow food for themselves and their families and do not enter the world economy at all. -Commercial farmers are constantly attempting to persuade subsistence farmers to want cash more than continue in their ways. |
Around the globe-Subsistence farming is still a relatively common practice in Africa, middle America, tropical South America, and parts of Southeast Asia.
-In South America and Southeast Asia, land that was held for subsistence farming is now being given to others for cash cropping. |
