Topic: Agriculture vs oil - page 3. (Read 2152 times)

Is it really necessary to fight agriculture and oil? because they have the same benefits that are given to every country in the whole world, it's just real talk, This is just my guess.
As in agriculture, it is necessary for human survival, and besides that it also provides renewable resources.

Whereas oil can provide help through energy sources and technological advancement, although they also have challenges that can be faced.

In case you have a steady income from high value commodities like oil then you don't have to worry about your agricultural sector. You will always find a country that is willing to sell your food for the right price. Even though many industries are trying to get away from oil to be more environmentally friendly, there is no way that the world is going to abandon the use of oil and fuel any time soon. Countries like in the Middle East that get the oil almost for free, just by opening up the Earth will always be competitive to sell their oil on the world market. It also doesn't really make sense to make large agricultural sectors in the desert with a small population. Better to let countries where the climate is much better to do it and then just export it. The problem with agriculture is that it's labour intensive and highly competitive. In western countries with high labour cost, it's almost impossible to have a competitive agricultural sector. Better to focus on the things where your country is competitive and have a small subsidized agricultural sector.

Mate it's the 21 century, we can't really be having this argument, agriculture is a major part of a countries economy if its been used properly and by now you know that normal agriculture without using modernised machined is much slower and the work rate would be high making it an unprofitable sector for business men, in or current world power in term of electricity is one the most important thigns cause every other sector now largely depends on it for productivity, and oil continues to be a major source of power cause its by products are used as chemical fuels, how would the agricultural sector even thrive and be able to produce food on a large scale with using machinery which later depends on oil, even other sector like development and technology still depends on oil, transportation still depends on oil especially large machines that needs high supply of power like airplanes, ships and all the rest.

With electricity many other sectors would reduce in productivity and that is fact.

Today's development in agriculture would not have been possible if the mechanical revolution had not taken place.
Due to the mechanized revolution in agriculture, the production of agriculture has become possible many times more than what it was before.
Without oil, the mechanical revolution would never have been possible. So oil machining and agriculture are interrelated.
Both oil and agriculture must be sustained if you want to sustain the current civilization. Both oil and agriculture are important and valuable to modern civilization.
From this point of view, it is not possible to go either side of agriculture or oil.

To me, oil can play an important role in the economic power of a country, although agriculture will play a much more important role in that regard. Even if a country is not agricultural, it can be managed by trade from unique countries if that country has enough money to supply. If my country has enough oil resources, I can sell that oil to feed my country, but if my country does not have oil, I will not be able to do any work. So oil has essential important role in all fields of energy agriculture system also oil plays a very important role in economic importance.

Only agriculture can keep the country's economy moving. Whereas at the beginning of the Corona emergency it was thought that there would be a food shortage in the country, but if the level of productivity increased everything would be possible. The role of oil in agriculture is more important. The economy is heavily dependent on agricultural oil. All agricultural activities are related to oil agricultural machines are powered by oil.

yes basically its the same point with all of them, all of them are gold, just some are not truly renewable but there's definitely should be no undermining toward the vital role of these things for the advancement of human life.
i mean having plenty of oil is great, having bountiful harvest of agricultural sector is also great, but a country need these two for the economic to run normally, i will say that definitely as a country, invest in the betterment of both sector, if it happens that a country have so many oil deposits, thats gonna be great since it could mean that they could just mine it to invest into agriculture.
there's absolutely no point in debating whether oil or agriculture that strengthen economy because its like carriage, agriculture is the seat, oil is the wheel, a carriage without wheel, what it gonna do, just become a useless carriage deserted also a wheel without the carriage on top of it, absolutely have no point, the two is as vital for the strength of economy.

It is true that oil is very important in agriculture, but even if people can live without oil for a short period of time, people cannot live without agricultural products. didn't people live in ancient times when there was no oil or any advanced technology that needed to be driven? But even then agricultural products were needed and people lived by eating them. so if these two are voted, agriculture will be ahead. But in today's world modern technology machines must need oil to run, in this case there is no alternative to oil. so both are very important for us comparatively for present time

Important in both agriculture and oil.Agriculture and oil play an immense role in keeping the economic wheels of a country moving.The use of oil has been gradually decreasing in recent times with agriculture as those living in South Asia will surely be aware that oil was once used in machines to irrigate paddy fields. With the recent increase in electricity supply, those irrigation machines now use electric motors instead of oil.

There are many countries in the world that export agricultural products produced in their country to earn foreign exchange which helps in the development of that country.Similarly, there are many countries in the world that are completely dependent on oil, such as Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and some other countries, they have managed to keep their economic wheels moving by exporting oil to different countries of the world. That is why oil and agriculture are closely related to the development of a country.

Agrobusiness and Petrodollar investment are complimentary components of a Postindustrial economy under pinned by the indices of capitalism. However, what makes a difference or the relative rewards of both are just a matter of two factors; structural trajectory ( neo colonialism / sovereign independent nation), and leadership dexterity.( Comprador class/ Pan nationalist class). Both factors have two variants of clear dichotomy. Thus, the argument goes that in a Neocolonial trajectory, the leadership sect is a reflection of comprador characterizations, so there would be absolute neglect of agriculture and the accruals of the hydrocarbon ( oil/ gas) deposits would be the centre of class struggles and all forms of manipulations. Again, there would be an adverse effects of macroeconomic indices such as; high unemployment, galloping inflation, hunger, misery, want, diseases, ignorance, squalor and disproportionate inequality. The much cherished advocacy and adoption of both fiscal and monetary policies to addressing these social evils are mere fascades . But, in an advance capitalist climes, the leadership class uses the accruals of the oil/ gas to subsidize the cost of agriculture, hence the affordability of both Cash and food crops by all social classes.

Both agriculture and oil are very important to us because without either one we cannot survive. so there is no comparison between these two. no country can survive either of these two. Oil will be required for agricultural work and without agricultural products our daily food needs will not be met. so we cannot exclude any of these two from our life. So I don't think there are any users here who can prove that life will go on without one of these two.

Both agriculture and oil have their important roles to play in the economic success of a country. Countries that have very fertile land for agriculture but low oil reserves can grow produce and trade such products with countries that have abundant oil reserves but in turn don't have the fertile land to grow agricultural produce, develop good international relations with such countries and could also import oil from such countries and vice versa.


International trade plays a good role in this perspective, when you don't have what you need, you use what you have to get what you need from who has what you need but doesn't have what you have and are in need of it.

It just depends on the situation, everything is clearly very useful, and the only difference is the value. But it is equally needed and cannot be replaced. But perhaps if petroleum is limited, it can be extracted because supplies will be depleted by the exploration carried out, but if agriculture will continue to develop and will always be the main thing for human needs in time.
Although perhaps currently everyone is still prioritizing petroleum because it is very expensive and needed,, but in the future, if there is a substitute, then everyone will switch, as they are now starting to use electric transportation.

There are people who say that the name black gold is called petroleum. people equate it with gold because the potential to make money is very large and a lot for countries that have large oil refineries. the same is the case with agriculture which is called green gold there is the name palm oil, forest wood and more.

Indeed, the use of this technology can be placed in several places and of course not in all lines and one of them is as you said. Indeed, if we pay attention to the natural resources of each country, they are different and if they were the same, there would not be supply and demand exactly like trading patterns in crypto.

Yes. That is true. The most important thing for me is new food, moving on to oil and others, of course they all have their own correlation and function.

Countries with massive oil reserves don't necessarily need fertile land for agriculture. They can sell their oil to countries that lack oil but have very fertile land and then buy back some products from them, this is why global trading is very beneficial for everyone. Also, vertical farming companies are emerging every day and that will help countries like Saudi Arabia to produce food and don't make themselves dependent on imports.

While we talk about agriculture versus oil, we should not forget blockchain technologies. They add important value to agriculture because blockchain technologies can track all types of information about food.

I think there's no need to argue which resource is more powerful for a country; not every country can have access to both oil and agriculture, and oil is only located or can be obtained in some regions of the world as it is a rare resource, and around it there can't be agricultural resources. And in fact, agriculture can sometimes depend on oil, as some machines and equipment used for agriculture use oil, which is essential. In short, each country has different resources that could make it powerful, and it's impossible for a nation or country to have all these rare and valuable resources. That's the beauty of the world; it's balanced and equal. But to sum up, oil is more powerful as it can be used to make machines and equipment that can be used for agriculture and other aspects. I think that concludes this argument or topic.

In fact, agriculture & oil as a pillar that strengthens our economy. The agricultural sector will be very large responsibility in providing community food needs. The agricultural sector can also be a sector that provides the biggest opportunity for labor. If development in this sector will be intended for the welfare of people's lives, then in the context of the state in Indonesia the rural development must be more specifically emphasized for farmers. So far, agriculture is considered as a field that requires a lot of energy, thus exceeding the boundaries of industrial and trade labor (especially other sectors).
For the development of the agricultural sector that supports the welfare of farmers, then an agricultural sector is a production of the sector that must have high economic value.

While oil, is still relied upon as one of the main commodities. Significant changes in oil prices will affect the economy in Indonesia. If world oil prices also increase, in addition to increasing state income, subsidies will also increase. The Middle East region is a producer and export of oil that still plays the main actor in influencing the development of the world oil industry. With the start of oil exports, income and operations from the oil industry have a big impact on the economic situation. This happens because of excessive dependence on oil income and the value of the dollar to change the Arab economy into a revenue economy with an imbalance between production and consumption. Electing and selling oil is not enough indication for a productive economy. Which results in an unstable and fluctuating economic development which implies that a country that is very dependent on oil income cannot ensure the success of its economic development in the long run because it cannot be ascertained about the true amount of the oil revenue that will be received in the future there. However, because the weak political system causes less maximum oil export results for the economy of the producing country. Problems such as corruption, authoritarian government as well as the political system is weak, armed kkonflik and then Arabic waves that increasingly make regional atmosphere more chaotic. This problem is still ongoing and the response of each country is also different.

Developing technology that is supported by alternative energy sources that are sustainable and financially viable will indeed be an economic force, because if we only rely on oil in the agricultural industry of course we will have to spread a lot of costs because resources are limited and it will indeed be very profitable if we can manage vertical farming and this is very helpful if we can do it on the remaining land in the yard and this also really helps with household needs in terms of food needs.

Burdwan is dependent on agriculture in almost all countries because if you don't have agriculture, if you don't have some management then what will you eat bro?  Moreover in that case if you are talking about oil then it is ok then you have to generate because everywhere it is not possible to generate from the company.  Because different countries see how much they have progressed from an oil mine in Qatar, we Bangladeshi people of Bangladesh are largely dependent on agriculture.  Because the current condition of Bangladesh is at the rate that the price of oil has increased, people do not think that after a few days.  The use of oil can keep it so normal because the night is gradually decreasing but there is no alternative to oil without oil. Oil has to be used.  But agriculture gives rice to people's stomach. Agriculture you can't do these things because what material will you make from the mill factory.
