19 CLUB of BOLOGNA 25 th Annual Meeting of the Club of Bologna November 15-16, 2014 Bologna EIMA International 2014 Part 2 Agricultural Mechanization: a Key for Future Mankind Welfare renius@ftm.mw.tum.de
20 Part II (Renius): Agricultural Mechanization: a Key for Future Mankind Welfare Three global roles of agricultural mechanization 1. The classical role: mechanization of plant and animal production, storage and processing in order to feed the planet 2. The recently added environmental role: mechanization of raw material and energy production & landscape maintenance in order to safeguard the planet and its resources 3. The strategic role: mechanization of agriculture to increase labour productivity in order to develop welfare of complete national economies Renius 2008: key note celebrating 50 years of agricultural engineering within VDI Key Note Bodria-Renius II
21 Part II (Renius): Agricultural Mechanization: a Key for Future Mankind Welfare Item 1 and 2: Agricultural mechanization addresses a) Land productivity b) Labour productivity Key Note Bodria-Renius II
22 Part II (Renius): Agricultural Mechanization: a Key for Future Mankind Welfare a) Land productivity: Ag mechanization is one among several important factors: Breading Fertilizing Irrigation Plant protection Post harvesting methods Mechanization 80% plant production increase expected for Estimated population growth is only ~30%, but additionally expected is a progressiv increase of animal, energy and raw material production! Key Note Bodria-Renius II
23 Part II (Renius): Agricultural Mechanization: a Key for Future Mankind Welfare b) Labour productivity: Ag mechanization is the by far the dominating factor : Milking machine... factor (Renius 2008) 15 Two horses ploughing Small tractor ploughing Multi purpose tractor mowing Large tractor ploughing Large combine Objective: To reduce labour input, secure low food prices Key Note Bodria-Renius II
24 Part II (Renius): Agricultural Mechanization: a Key for Future Mankind Welfare Brasil 31 Combines, followed by 12 direct-seeders Working power equal to about hand workers with reduced losses and rather better working quality Source: Club of Bologna E. Ch. Mantovani / Brasil Key Note Bodria-Renius II
25 Part II (Renius) GDP and % working people in agriculture Source: Bodria/FAO Key Note Bodria-Renius II
26 Part II (Renius): Agricultural Mechanization: a Key for Future Mankind Welfare Three sector model: the case of USA Source: Fourastié 1963, Renius 2008 Key Note Bodria-Renius II
27 Part II (Renius): Agricultural Mechanization: a Key for Future Mankind Welfare The three sector model and the global future: A low level in agricultural mechanization usually means a high level of poverty a low level of infrastructure high illiteracy low expectation of life low drinking water availability high infant mortality often: low interest of investors Key Note Bodria-Renius II
28 Part II (Renius): Agricultural Mechanization: a Key for Future Mankind Welfare The majority of the nations of this globe still needs a considerably higher level in agricultural mechanization. How to realize? An important general condition is Political stability and internal peace. What can be done in ag engineering? Key Note Bodria-Renius II
29 Part II (Renius): Agricultural Mechanization: a Key for Future Mankind Welfare Globally planned tractor & machinery save costs for the industry and thus enables adequate prices for the farmer. But : How to meet the extremely wide span of demanded machinery specifications from very simple to high sophisticated? Key Note Bodria-Renius II
30 Part II (Renius): Agricultural Mechanization: a Key for Future Mankind Welfare FORDSON F 50% world market share around 1925, (Source: Renius farm) Key Note Bodria-Renius II
