Globalisation and its impact on agriculture

Globalization is the process of international integration arising from the interchange of world views, products, ideas, and other aspects of culture. Globalization is associated not only with an increasing cross border movement of goods, services, capital, technology, Information and people, but also with an organization of economic activities which straddles national boundaries. Although the globalization envisage free competition, high productivity using state of the art technology, but simultaneously it is driven by the lure of profit and the threat of competition in the market. Globalization is also being portrayed as the only solution for all type of problems related to world. Thus the process of globalization is not static, it is a super national phenomenon which transcends national frontiers.
