The Economist recommends switching to new methods and seeds, as I referred to in my summary. It's tough for many farmers to risk doing so when a failed year from a new method or seed could leave them ruined. Hence why it recommends governments should help insure them during the transition especially. Yup, I didn't quote every sentence. Sue me.
