ABSTRAK

Kertas ini memerihal dan menganalisis kesan modenisasi ke atas teknologi dan institusi luar bandar di Indonesia. Penulis menekankan perbincangan kepada penanaman padi basah, pengeluaran tanaman di tanah bukit dan industri kampung. Kesan modenisasi lebih berkesan bagi penanaman padi basah. Penulis menunjukkan iaitu penyelidikan dalam penternakan dan agronomi belum dapat memodenkan sistem penternakan dan penanaman di bukit. Dari segi industri kampung pula industri makanan lebih dominan tetapi kesan modenisasi tidak begitu ketara seperti penanaman padi basah.
