What is the relationship between poverty and agricultural production?

What will be an ideal response?


Poverty rates in rural areas dominated by agricultural production have increased in recent decades. In order to be profitable, farms require a vast number of acres and technology not typically affordable for individuals. Thus, while most farms are still small, they also make relatively little money and the majority of farm owners are not able to make ends meet simply by farming. The lack of sustainable, family owned, farms has augmented the growing concerns of poverty in rural areas.
