Agricultural productivity has expanded for over a century because of successful replacement of human and animal power with mechanization combined with advances in fertilization, agricultural chemicals, and genetics. These developments freed workforces in developed countries to focus on building and advancing their societies. A second wave of productivity expansion has occurred since the 1980s that can be associated with the impact of digital technologies following the trends of Moore’s law.
