Family Agriculture : Tradition and Transformation
Originally published in 1994, this book examines the importance of family agricultural systems in both the developed and the developing worlds.Throughout the world, and throughout history, the family unit has been at the heart of agricultural systems.Working together, families not only furnish their own needs, but form the basis for society itself: they provide the labour, population, resources and the market to maintain much of the world’s economic and social development.But the global race for financial prosperity, with its large-scale intensive farming techniques, is increasingly undermining the family’s role in food production and social cohesion.This book explores both traditional and modern farming techniques and looks at their different consequences for national agricultural resources and for rural societies.Finally, it suggests ways in which technology can be harnessed to meet the needs of the family rather than undermine it, in order to achieve a viable and sustainable agriculture for the future.

'Tradition or remnant?'
Tradition and remnant can be seen as two different concepts. Tradition refers to practices, beliefs, or customs that are passed down through generations and are actively maintained and celebrated within a culture or community. On the other hand, a remnant refers to something that remains from the past, often as a surviving trace or fragment of what once was. While tradition is actively upheld and passed down, a remnant may be a leftover or residual aspect of a culture or practice that has faded or disappeared over time.
