Land productivity

Its always a matter of choice among lots of technological options in agriculture. The "right choice should help boost production to its maximum extent. The choice is broadly between biological vs physical technology. Generally argued, physical technology like machineries are the appropriate one for land abundant country like America while vice versa is true for the land scarce country like Nepal.This gives the importance of research priority at country level. Nepal should focus on biological technology to enhance the productive capability. The emphasis on increasing labor productivity is relatively not an appropriate option. Agricultural growth in Nepal is hardly able to meet the ever increasing population growth. There is no option other than to increase the productive capability of land through input intensification, biological technology advancement and efficiency increment.
