Mechanical and engineering processes

Japanese: 機械・工学的行程 - きかいこうがくてきこうてい
Mechanical and engineering processes

...The wide variation in yields and famines caused by changes in natural conditions can be reduced to some extent through improved varieties, advances in agricultural technology, and the development of irrigation and drainage facilities, but the variations cannot be completely eliminated. The third technological characteristic of agricultural production is that two processes, organic biological production processes and inorganic mechanical and engineering processes, coexist and are combined to produce the product. Biological production processes involve humans directly interacting with crops and livestock, and are primarily management tasks that increase production per unit, which requires careful management through labor intensification. ...

…自然条件の変動によるこの豊凶の大きな幅は,品種改良や農業技術の進歩,灌漑・排水設備の整備などによって,ある程度まで縮小することはできるが,その変動を完全になくすることはできない。 農業生産の第3の技術的特質は,有機的な生物生産行程と無機的な機械・工学的行程の二つの行程が併存し,両者が結びついて生産が行われることである。生物生産行程とは,作物や家畜に人間が直接働きかけ,その単位当り生産量を増加させる管理作業を主とするもので,そこでは労働の集約化による綿密な管理が必要とされる。…
