dc.description.alternativeAbstractCutting edge technology has completely revolutionized every sector of production in the world. And increasingly, farmers are looking for the cheapest ways to farm, cut cost and make more capital. Agriculture has already experienced a lot of these changes in the west and over the last decade, this trend has been visible in many parts of Asia. Though many scholars have argued that infusing technology in agriculture has pushed a lot of peasant farmers out of business, the veracity of that claim has been pushed aside because of the simple reason that, it has brought far more positive results than negative. For example, the application of simple fertilizer for example has had a unanimous approval from farmers all over the world which is why this study seeks to explains why Technology and Agriculture need each other to help in the growth of the Korean economy. To attain this growth, the governments of these countries must monitor and ensure the imported Technology must be transferred entirely (skill, training, production facility, machinery etc.) for the infusion to be complete. This is merely the first stage which must be backed by government initiated policies and reforms in the sector for the country to experience sustainable growth which (these reforms) touch a wide range of issues in every sector involved indirectly or directly with agriculture production (from farm to market) for example (land owner rights, market access, domestic support, subsidies, coordination etc.).-
