Promotional efforts can be effective in overcoming the educational barriers to adoption, which are plentiful. Farmers do not like the steep learning curve and many of the ranchers do not understand the underlying scientific principles of the ICLS strategy. However, the promotional efforts are hampered by a small budget, and it is unlikely that they will result in substantial adoption without the use of at least one other tactic.
Embrapa's strength is in development, with a secondary strength in training. They can be effective at communicating product benefits, but relatively ineffective at sales. Therefore, they should convince the government to encourage sales by means of financial incentive. Ultimately, the farmers and ranchers are rational actors. They are large landowners and corporations and therefore are driven by the profit motive. Tax and other policy incentives essentially created large-scale agriculture in the region. While the...
Moreover, because of the need for ICLS to be integrated as a holistic approach to changing agricultural patterns, the implementation will go more smoothly if Embrapa is solely involved in the implementation. Therefore, it is recommended that Embrapa, with their information-diffusion strength, should take the lead role in marketing ICLS. To assist in the diffusion process, government tax incentives should be utilized, to help overcome some of the trepidation among farmers who do not see the immediate benefits. Government agencies support the program, but there is question as to whether the funds will be there. However, from the government's perspective the program will pay for itself as increased yields will lead to increased exports, an improved tax base, and substantial savings on the $5.3 billion of environmental costs each year.
But despite its registered success in the United States, the countries in the European Union, mostly Italy, France or Greece, but also others, have become affirmed as strong discailmers of GM. They mostly reacted in such a manner due to their ongoing battle against fast food, originating primarily from the U.S. And leading to unfavourable outcomes for the individual's health. Italy has even subscribed to the Slow Food Movement, promoting
Agriculture Exports, Thailand Thailand, officially the Kingdom of Thailand, is a country located at the center of the Indochina peninsula in Southeast Asia. It is bordered to the north by Burma and Laos, to the east by Laos and Cambodia, to the south by the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia, and to the west by the Andaman Sea and the southern extremity of Burma.

Agriculture and New Technologies Agriculture and New Technology Agricultural techniques and technologies have changed vastly over the last several decades contributing to significant improvements in productivity. Today, farming has become a knowledge intensive practice with more than 90% of the farmers across the world using scientific farming methods to minimize their cost and improve their yield. . The cost savings effected in terms of efficient use of fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides under
These ideological views are bolstered by the numerous views propounded against GM products. Others see the GM products in a religious and philosophical light as a misguided attempt to control nature. "The central problem underlying all of this technology is not just its short-term benefits and long-term drawbacks, but the overall attempt to "control" living nature based on an erroneous mechanistic view. " (Batalion, J.) In conclusion, the above discussion
This is going to have a direct impact on the cost and even the availability of food in the supermarkets in the near future. At the same time, more and more small farms are springing up (House, 2). This suggests that more people are actually desiring a return to agriculture, possibly as a way of becoming more connected with the way we live. Farming is the most complete way
Agriculture Technologies in the Middle Ages The Middle Ages is a period characterized by the diffusion of many new agricultural technologies which, in turn, increased agricultural productivity, protected rich croplands from inclement weather, established a uniformity in farming throughout the various regions, and improved nutrition overall. Agricultural Tools The plow is considered to be one of the most important (and oldest) technologies developed. In fact, the history of the plow stretches back to
