Mechanisation is an integral and major component of modern agriculture and land management.
It ranges from the simplest mechanical aids used in subsistence agriculture to the large, powerful and expensive machinery used in broad-acre farming. Mechanisation is often the most significant single cost in crop production, and represents the biggest problem in terms of workplace health and safety. Inappropriate mechanisation has been a major factor in land degradation, but without it, the earth's population could not be sustained. The vision of the Farm Mechanisation Centre is to understand, interpret and communicate information on the appropriate economic and safe use of power and machinery in sustainable land management systems. The Farm Mechanisation Homepage is designed and maintained by Badri B. Basnet and Prajwal Basnet .
