Hey Swiftie,
Agriculture is booming in most developing countries which have access to fertilisers, water and proper management practices to combat disease, pests and soil erosion. Unfortunately the cost of these inputs often prevent large shifts in agricultural production amongst those people who need more food rather than less (such as ourselves).
Cheers,
Brent

Pretty much every country is making efforts in the right direction but the pace varies because of a whole range of reasons; political reasons like war, climatic reasons like droughts and access to affordable resources, all impact the rate of agricultural development in most of those countries.

Hi Swifite,
Again, I’m with Brent on this one. One other thing that we can do to improve agriculture in developing countries is encourage the adoption of improved practices. Much is known from research on how to produce plants and animals more efficiently in developing countries, but some of these techniques aren’t utilised because farmers either don’t know about them, or don’t understand them. Teaching people how to improve their farming practices based on information we already have would help them to improve ag development faster.

Agriculture is fundamentally important to developing countries and lots of their populations are rural. Like Brent, Harjeet and Rebecca said there are things to improve like closing yield gaps with better practices. Agriculture gets to be a smaller part of their economies as they develop, and they have more of an urban population which means they rely on others to produce their food. So Agriculture is still very important and changes in what and how it needs to produce.
