Description

Farm mechanization - ecological paradise or disaster? Farm mechanization does not fall into any of these extremes. One cannot imagine agriculture without farm machines. It should have been like civilization without mobile phones and computer. The most civil thing is that mechanization should take into account the types of vegetation, soil, weather, climate, culture, traditions, economy, polity, socio-religious lives of a nation. They are all inclusive. What is good for Peter, may not be good for Paul. One man's meat is another man's poison. Indigenous engineers are challenged on these subject matters. From land clearing to processing/ preservation/marketing calls for local touch. The design, fabrication and mass production of farm machines has been crop and process specific and all stakeholders: agricultural engineers, investors, farmers, agronomists, processors, marketers, cooperatives, policy makers, government, banks, insurance companies, NGOs, environmental managers and custodians have to be fully involved in every level to achieve agricultural sustainability. It will very difficult to feed a hungry world, without a well articulated, and coordinated farm mechanization programmes and policies in all nations on earth
