What is the function of traditional agriculture?

1, the technical aspect remains unchanged for a long time;

2. Farmers' demand for production factors remains unchanged for a long time;

3. The demand and supply of traditional production factors are in a long-term equilibrium state;

Metal farm tools and wooden farm tools have replaced the original stone tools, and iron plows, hoes, iron rakes, plows, windmills, waterwheels and stone mills are widely used.

Development and improvement

Traditional agriculture has gradually changed from extensive management to intensive management, from complete grazing to house feeding or the combination of grazing and house feeding, and the ability to transform nature and productivity level have been greatly improved compared with primitive agriculture. Traditional agriculture is characterized by intensive cultivation, simple agricultural sector structure, small production scale, backward management and production technology, poor ability to resist natural disasters, low efficiency of agricultural ecosystem, weak commodity economy and basically no regional division of production.

From slave society, from feudal society to early capitalist society, traditional agriculture has been widely existed in many economically underdeveloped countries in the world. China is an ancient agricultural country with a long history. Always pay attention to intensive cultivation, apply a lot of organic fertilizer, build farmland water conservancy, develop irrigation, implement crop rotation and multiple cropping, plant leguminous crops and green manure, and combine agriculture with animal husbandry.

While developing modern agriculture, we should still maintain and carry forward the characteristics of Chinese traditional agriculture, gradually take the road of "ecological agriculture" and "modern agriculture", build an agricultural ecosystem with high quality, high yield and low consumption, and improve the level of agricultural production.
