Among the convictions which fuel this dissertation is the tenet that successful agricultural development does not result in the death of farming as a profession. Others are as follows. Especially in a society whose history and culture have been laid on an agrarian foundation, any vision of a "developed" society will include economically and culturally vital agrarian communities. Strong agrarian communities are important for cultural and ecological reasons. They should be sustained on the basis of an economy that allows that portion of rural society which chooses agriculture as a profession to generate the great majority of its income through agricultural activities. Farmers and the agricultural economy have interests distinct from those of rural residents and the rural economy; there are obvious and even numerous points of intersection, but these are categorically distinct entities.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Among the convictions which fuel this dissertation is the tenet that successful agricultural development does not result in the death of farming as a profession. Others are as follows. Especially in a society whose history and culture have been laid on an agrarian foundation, any vision of a "developed" society will include economically and culturally vital agrarian communities. Strong agrarian communities are important for cultural and ecological reasons. They should be sustained on the basis of an economy that allows that portion of rural society which chooses agriculture as a profession to generate the great majority of its income through agricultural activities. Farmers and the agricultural economy have interests distinct from those of rural residents and the rural economy; there are obvious and even numerous points of intersection, but these are categorically distinct entities.
520 $a Proceeding on the analytical and terminological foundation given above, I examine in the three parts of this dissertation the history of the Taiwanese farmer, the state of the contemporary agricultural economy in Taiwan, and the current body of farmer and other relevant opinion among the populace in Taiwan as to the fate of farmers during the 1945-1990 period of rapid economic development. Based on personal interviews and observations, personally administered surveys, varied writings on Taiwanese farmers and agriculture in the Chinese language, and government statistical data, my research leads me to the conclusion that while the rural economy and rural residents have fared very well in Taiwan, farmers and the agricultural economy have not. I find that agricultural development in Taiwan has been a success in most of its technical aspects but a failure in providing an economically viable future for the professional farmer.
520 $a Given these findings, I conclude that a significant portion of the Taiwanese economy has been neglected even as its general economy grew robustly, and I suggest that scholars and economic development specialists should consider more carefully the fate of professional farmers in assessing the level of success of particular cases of economic development.
