The Future of Small Farms in Asia
Farms throughout Asia are predominantly small and family-based. In the past, small farms in tropical Asia achieved significant improvement in the yield of cereal crops, such as rice and wheat, which is dubbed the Green Revolution. As a result, grain production increased much faster than population growth, thereby contributing to food security in this region. By nature, small farms use labor-intensive production methods, as large mechanization is infeasible.
