A professor of mine in one of my courses told the class that Agriculture is a way of life. It is a part of a society’s culture and therefore there are some practices that would have been very effective but the people just somehow do not use the technology because of culture. He assured the class that this is true and this is happening.

I can say that giving information is not commanding the people to do what you told them. It is just that you are giving them information which you think is better and it is up to them to decide if they want to do it. So the have to agree on what you are saying before they practice it. Or they could try it for some time and if they see good results, then they can finally agree to what you say. Again, technology specially in agriculture is location specific. You are never sure that if a technology works in this particular area, then it can work on all areas.

What I will be posting here are agriculture related articles whether new or old technologies practiced by local farmers on different areas of the world that are proven to work. I will also try to post some methods on sustainable farming practices as taught in our lectures and some issues concerning on agriculture.

Agreement in Culture should always go hand in hand for an effective information dissemination and aceeptance of new technologies in agriculture.
