The long-term view of what has happened to agriculture in those regions during the last fifty years is summarised by Hazell’s (2013, p. 6) description that “the overwhelming story is one of more small farms, shrinking farm sizes and increased income diversification”. Despite growth, sometimes quite rapid growth, in national per capita incomes, there is little sign yet of a shift to the patterns of farm consolidation that occurred during the economic transformation of most of today’s industrialised countries. Rather, relatively few workers are leaving their farms for the cities and instead are diversifying into non-farm activity from a small farm base. This declining trend, however, is an average, and particular countries - typically, of higher incomes - have seen an increase in farm sizes.
