On a theoretical level, it is clear that small, labor-intensive farms can make
much better use of a given area compared to large, highly mechanized farms -
through intercropping, less spacing between plants, etc. I am wondering if there
is any data to back this up.
Many thanks.
Health and Happiness,
Brian
