The performance of such wet biomass (animal waste) systems is outlined in Agriculture and Autonomous Power Supply, EOLSS on-line, 2002, and summarized in Table 3. Autonomous power supply must also include human and animal power (as discussed in Human and Animal Powered Machinery, EOLSS on-line, 2002) which, although of great relevance to small farms in the poorest regions, is otherwise declining in relative importance.
In all these changes, the elastic demand provided by export markets played a crucial role. Without such export possibilities, areas planted, employment, and agricultural output would have expanded less and mechanization would probably have happened more slowly. (If final demand is very inelastic, mechanization could lead to a reduction in agricultural employment even if extra land is available.) Mechanization can also be induced by labor scarcity arising out of nonagricultural demand for labor (case 2). Production costs rise because wages rise rapidly.
