What is the difference between modern agriculture and traditional agriculture

Modern agriculture It is generally believed that today's meaning of modern agriculture began after World War II (the completion of the Industrial Revolution in 1840 in Britain to the period before World War II, the world's agricultural development is called modern agriculture, before the collectively referred to as traditional agriculture or ancient agriculture), is developed on the basis of modern agriculture to modern science and technology as the main feature of agriculture, is the extensive application of modern market concepts, management knowledge and industrial equipment and technology, market-oriented, intensive, specialized, socialized industrial system, is the production, processing and marketing combined, pre-production, post-production and sales, and the combination of pre-production, post-production and post-production. It is a market-oriented, intensive, specialized and socialized industrial system that widely applies modern market concepts, management knowledge and industrial equipment and technology, and is a new type of sustainable industry that combines production, processing and marketing, pre-production, post-production and mid-production, production, life and ecology, and combines the development of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, and the integrated consideration of rural and urban development, agriculture and industrial development, as well as the highly efficient use of resources and ecological and environmental protection. Modernization of agriculture is a characteristic of modern agriculture. (1) Mechanization of the production process: mechanization of the production process refers to the use of advanced equipment to replace the manual labor of human beings, and the large-scale mechanization of the pre-production, production and post-production processes, so as to reduce the physical intensity of labor and improve labor efficiency. The so-called whole process of mechanization, should include the selection of seeds, seedlings, ploughing, sowing, fertilizer, weed control, irrigation, harvesting, threshing, drying, storage, processing, packaging, transport and so on, from planting to the table of all the links of mechanical operation. Mechanization is not equal to modernization, but it does occupy an important position in the composition of modernization, it is the basis for the realization of modernization, or the full necessary conditions. Without the support of mechanization, it is impossible to have agricultural modernization. (2) Scientific production technology: science and technology are the power source of the evolution of agriculture to modernization. The scientificization of agricultural production technology means that advanced science and technology are widely used in agriculture, so as to increase the output of products, improve the quality of products, reduce the cost of production and ensure the safety of food. Realize the process of agricultural modernization, in fact, is the process of advanced science and technology into the agricultural process, and constantly improve the basic scientific research in agriculture, applied scientific research and extension system, and constantly improve the contribution of science and technology to the process of increasing the rate of the process of the 21st century, is the century of science and technology. The 21st century is the century of science and technology. The emergence of new technologies, new materials, new energy will make the current situation of agriculture undergo a great change, and science and technology will play a vital role in the transformation of traditional agriculture. If we leave the injection of science and technology, the modernization of agriculture will stagnate. (3) Intensification of growth mode: Modern agriculture is backward compared with traditional agriculture, and intensive management is backward compared with rough management. Rough operation and traditional agriculture have certain correspondence; intensive operation and modern agriculture have certain correspondence. Evolution of traditional agriculture to the direction of modern agriculture, a basic synchronization condition is that the agricultural growth mode should be changed from the rough management to the intensive management, abandon the traditional rough plowing and simple farming, promote the modern intensive farming, in the fertilizer, pesticide, irrigation and other inputs of marginal benefits diminishing, expanding the production of the margin of the situation, the base point of the increase in production to tap the potential of the internal, reduce production costs, enhance the products, improve the overall efficiency. The base point of increasing production is shifted to the track of tapping internal potential, reducing production cost, upgrading product grade, improving comprehensive benefit and improving labor quality. (4) Marketization of the business cycle: a significant sign of modern agriculture is that the market has become the carrier of agricultural economic operation. Market-oriented organization of production, inputs and outputs of a consumer business cycle to be realized in the market. This is the rural economy from the traditional self-sufficient natural economic form to the modern, commodity market form of the road. In the allocation of resources, the withdrawal of administrative means and the play of market function is a basic feature of modern agriculture. In the purpose of production, the disappearance of self-sufficiency of products and the conversion of purely for commodity exchange is another basic feature of modern agriculture. This process of quantitative change in "utilization" and "conversion" is an important part of the convergence of traditional agriculture to modern agriculture. If the commodity rate of products does not reach a high degree, the modernization of agriculture will not be "transformed". (5) Socialization of production organization: the so-called production organization is the process of guiding the combination and layout of microeconomic units, coordinating the social division of labor, and managing the implementation of specialized production. Based on the whole society to design this process, the implementation of this process, is the socialization of production organization. It means that all sectors of agricultural production and distribution activities, each link, must be organically linked with the relevant sectors of society, market players, and with the continuous progress of modernization to increase the degree of such dependence, in order to achieve the strengths and weaknesses, complement each other's strengths, and improve the purpose of labor productivity. Modernized production should be socialized mass production. It excludes the small and closed state of production; favors the organization of production according to the specialized division of labor, and demands to take the road of open management. The specialization of production, rationalization of production organization and intercontinentalization of circulation constitute the "three elements" of socialized mass production, which is the development direction deliberately pursued in the process of realizing agricultural modernization. (6) High optimization of production performance: The agricultural modernization we want is the modernization of high yield, high quality and high efficiency. Whether we can achieve high yield, high quality and high efficiency is the decisive factor to test the success of modernization. If the final result of production and management is low yield, low quality and low economic efficiency, then we should ask whether the equipment configuration is scientific, whether the production process and technology are outdated, whether the mode of growth is still in the rough form, whether the management concept is still in the traditional agricultural economy, whether the degree of socialization of production is ideal. The conclusions may be unsatisfactory. In other words, the performance of production has a one-vote negative effect on whether or not modernization has been truly achieved. The performance of production and management should be evaluated by a system of real indicators, such as unit production, quality rate, labor productivity, enterprise profit, and so on. The real effort to realize the modernization of agriculture should be put into improving the performance results. (7) Intelligent workers: Intelligent workers, in this context, means that people engaged in agricultural production or management must have modernized cultural knowledge and skill levels. The laborer is the most basic and dynamic factor in the composition of the productive forces. His contribution to the increase of agricultural production and efficiency is very important. In the process of agricultural production and management, advanced production tools rely on people to create, advanced science and technology rely on people to find out, advanced management experience rely on people to summarize, advanced management system and operating mechanism rely on people to apply. Whether it is a change in the mode of growth, or improve production performance, are in the subjective role of people can be realized. Without people, modernization does not exist. In this sense, the modernization of agriculture that we want to achieve is a people-centered modernization. Improving the cultural knowledge and skill level of workers is not only the goal of agricultural modernization, but also a reliable guarantee to achieve the goal. The traditional Chinese agricultural management idea is: self-sufficiency.
