Sažetak

Food production, i. e. problems
connected with the development of
agriculture, is a very good starting
point for analyzing existing
controversies concerning future
development in the world. This
problem is especially well-expressed
in Third World countries, where
there is an increasing gap between
the explosive population growth
and insufficient agrarian
production. Relevant world
literature (futurological,
neo-Malthusian) gives different
answers about the prospects for
solving this problem in the future.
In the second part of the article the
author considers the relationship
rural societies have towards
technological change. It is obvious
that, for varying reasons, such
societies accept innovations that
bring to an increase of agricultural
production very slowly and with
great difficulties. The breakup of
village self-sustenance and the
development of industry and
commercial production, where
agriculture becomes an open
segment of the economy, is the
most efficient solution for
technological innovation in
agriculture and the path towards
increasing food production on the
world scale. This does not mean the
destruction of all social and
cultural values of the rural society,
but their adaption to a new
situation.
