Exclusion of smallholders in LDCs is the outcome of declining prices for basic foods now produced and marketed globally by developed countries. This is an effect of globalization: it responds to advances in information technologies, communications, and biotechnology. Productivity gains in capital intensive agriculture have evolved since the Green Revolution to today’s knowledge technology in agriculture. As productivity in modern farming depends on genetic improvement of crops, biodiversity is essential to maintain the pool of genes necessary for genetic engineering. Biodiversity is reduced because of the increasing space for cash c...
