How has eastern European agriculture changed since the communist era ended?

Answer 1

It's just right there in the book, but...

Under communism, farmers worked either on government-owned collective farms- they received wages plus a share of products and profits- or on state farms- they didn't share in the profits, but they still got wages like factory workers. On both types of farms, outdated equipment and lack of incentive resulted in low crop yields. Since the shift in democracy, private ownership of land and food production has risen, and eastern European farmers are expected to increase yields and profits by using modern equipment and fertilizers.

Now, I came looking for the answer online, and when I didn't find it, I looked again in the book. I felt silly once I found it in the book for turning to the internet.

Answer 2

It's actually quite easy, it's just right there in the book if you look, but for those who need a boost in school, here you go. (You have to read some before you get to the answer)
