Abstract:

In many developing countries small-scale agriculture is the biggest employer of rural people. The:e
is too little rural industry to employ all these farmers. Therefore, if small-scale farming becomes
less and less profitable, more rural people will be forced to move to cities in search of work, causing
greater urban over-crowding, and increased social problems for both rural and urban areas.
