Abstract

AbstractDevelopment and trends in agriculture often reflect a changed structure: Fewer, larger and more specialized farms are pervasive trends in agricultural development—at least in high-income countries. The structure of agriculture and not least the structural development are visible signs of a changing industry. Structural development in agriculture can be defined and described in many different ways: the total number and size of the individual farms, specialization, concentration, types of ownership, vertical integration, globalization and farmer demographics. Clear global trends in the structural development of agriculture can generally be observed. However, in certain areas, there are significant differences in the development between low- and high-income countries.
