If we need to look back and determine the activity that played the biggest role in human evolution, I would say it was agriculture. It played a far more significant role than we actually credit it for. Perhaps a more crucial part than the industrial revolution. It made us self reliant, and it can be said that it led us to civilization. God knows what would have happened if we hadn’t discovered it. Maybe we didn’t have the world we have today.
Agriculture is what makes us human. It’s the ability to produce food for ourselves that makes us one of a kind, among other factors. Agriculture still holds that Paramount position in human life. It can be estimated that agriculture still forms around 6.4 per cent of the global GDP and it is estimated to grow as new people are entering the agriculture sectors with new technologies and replacing the traditional practices with new ones.
As we entered the industrial age, tractors have replaced human effort. Earlier, agriculture was a very expensive and extensive thing (with opportunity costs like time and effort involved). But with the advent of tractors, both time and effort of humans have decreased and thereby decreasing the opportunity costs. Tractors are efficient, fast and effective. They are easy to use and can help you to do your work easily and fast.
When we talk about tractors, Mahindra seems to be the only company that comes to mind. With its new motto of ‘Rise’, the automobile giant seems to be on the rise as well. The company dominates the existing tractor market by a great margin.
