The importance of the agricultural sector to economic development as a source of support of both labour and food to growing urban industrial areas has received a good deal of attention in recent analyses of economic growth. Without improved organisation of existing factors and proper application of new techniques in agriculture, supplies of agricultural products are frequently not adequate to meet the increased demand for them that accompanied urbanization and industrialisation. The resultant rise in agricultural prices by shifting the terms of trades against industrial economies seriously impeded the growth of industrial production. In addition, since the process of economic growth for the average under-developed country involves a major shift of employment from agriculture to industry, the increased food requirements of the growing population now must typically be produced by a relatively smaller agricultural work force. Thus, in general one would expect countries that are more industrialised and urbanized to have high levels of productivity in their agricultural sectors than countries at lower levels of economic development.

Which aspect of economic growth has received greater attention in recent times ?
