More efficiency means greater volume of primary product produced, or more food produced per square foot or acre with less resources going into this food production. In other words, farming efficiency is reducing inputs while working to increase output. Inefficiencies occur when a lot of inputs go into get a small amount of output or raw product that will go into some form of food production. Large inputs can refer to fuel, fertilizer, feed, pesticides, labour and time.

Modern farming methods require the farmer to start with more cash than before why?

Modern farming methods require the farmers to make use of hybrid-variety seeds, chemical fertilizers and pesticides for crops, farm machinery like tractors and threshers, and some to set up tube wells for irrigation. This makes farming practices like tilling and harvesting faster and more efficient, but most importantly, it generates greater yields which is greater income for the farmer to cover costs incurred with the purchase of such inputs. However, when starting up, these inputs come at a higher cost than the costs required for start up 100 years ago because farming that long ago (not to mention before then) involved more manual labour, simpler machines and more horses and oxen than what is needed for today. Such farming methods may have also applied to subsistence farming, though not always. Hence the modern methods are more efficient and the value of technology and machinery is higher than what is considered now as "ancient" technology.


Why specialization leads to economies of scale?
