Preferred term

agricultural scale and community quality  

Definition

  • The relationship of agricultural scale to community well-being has been the subject of scores of social science studies. The guiding hypothesis in almost all of this work is that agricultural communities that are dominated by a small handful of very large farms will have a significantly lower quality of life than will agricultural communities in which farming is organized around smaller-scale family operations.
