Practice Listening: Summarize Spoken Text ID: #31178 Medium Agriculture and Urbanisation
Instructions
I am trying here to capture the dynamics that is conventionally being associated with urbanisation developments. And get back once again, to this question of agriculture. Once you have cities and you also the reverse of the cities, you have countryside. You have rural areas and have this relationship with urban areas, and it needs to developed agricultural goods. And you trade with increasing industrial goods. Increasing agriculture productivity, reduces labour needs and opportunities in the rural areas, pushing people towards the cities. There is this notion that in order to have progress and development in cities, you need people. If everybody is busing growing to crops, growing food that exists, you can't have people all going into the city. You need to increased productivity in the countryside. You need to have one farmer producing enough food for more than one family. And then you will have growth and productivity in the countryside, which will free of people move to the cities. In fact, in many ways, it will compel it. They will go to the cities and search for jobs and provide the labour force for the production of all kinds of things.
