The research compares the changes in agricultural technology in rice growing regions in mainland Southeast Asia after the diffusion of modern \u201cGreen Revolution\u201d technology. We will study how regional characteristics influence technological development. Having examined country case studies, we will edit and publish a book on the topic in English. We will also publish a book by Dr. Guy Trebuil, who will be invited to stay at CSEAS from October 2017 to March 2018.<\/p>\n
In rice growing countries of mainland Southeast Asia, food selfsufficiency has been almost accomplished, and the importance of technological development in agriculture and rural development is declining in terms of national policy. The governments do not extend modern technologies as vigorously as they did before; nowadays farmers can select agricultural technologies on their own. This means that recent technological development varies significantly from one country to another, which results in an increase in the regional diversity of agricultural technology. Globally, the orientation of the development of agricultural technology is shifting from productivity to sustainability, stability, safety, and low input organic. Our research aims to compare the recent trends in technological changes and examines the significance of regional characteristics to agricultural technological development.<\/p>\n
Recent trends of technological changes in mainland Southeast Asia have not been well studied. In this project, researchers in Area Studies, in collaboration with local people, consider the contemporary significance of technological changes and seek a future model for agriculture. The results of the research can bring a new vision of development based on \u201cregionality\u201d and farmers\u2019 initiative.<\/p>\n
