Family Farms, Cooperatives and Collectives

Abstract

What is more natural than to expect modem agriculture to be organized in large-scale food factories? Such expectations notwithstanding, a large part of agricultural production - though not all of it - is still done on family farms. Evidently, economies of scale in production, to the extent that they exist, are outweighed by countervailing forces.
