Why are there many wasteland in the countryside now?

There are many reasons for this phenomenon. The most important thing is that farmers' income is getting lower and lower now, and they can't make money by farming. No matter what kind of food or fruit they grow, they need to spend a lot of energy and manpower, but they don't have a good price when they sell it. When the pay is not proportional to the income, no one wants to farm. Now the social price is getting higher and higher, and the consumption level is getting higher and higher. Farmers' income from farming every year can't bear the expenses of daily life, let alone support a family. On the contrary, if they choose to go out to work and do whatever they want, they will earn much more than farming. In contrast, no one wants to farm.

Moreover, even young people who grew up in rural areas are willing and can do farm work. If they go to the countryside casually, they will find many wasteland. Even if there is no shortage of land, some people are planting it, and it will take about 60 years for the elderly to plant it. Young people have gone out to work, and the village is full of old people and left-behind children. But there is nothing they can do. If they can support their family in the countryside, who wants to leave their hometown and stay at home?

Although rural development is getting better and better, many conditions can't keep up, such as staying at home to farm, children going to school and medical care. Moreover, there are more men than women in rural areas, and many girls are married to the city, so it is difficult to find a partner when they farm at home.

It is a social trend for rural people to go out to work, not decided by one person. Times are changing and progressing. In today's fast-paced and ever-changing society, high efficiency has become a necessity for all walks of life. I believe that even farming can be changed in the near future. I believe everyone can feel that the countryside is slowly moving towards mechanization, such as harvesters and threshers in the fields when the wheat is ripe. These are all changing, but there are still many remote rural areas that have not been mechanized. The "mechanization" of land only changes simple farming and harvesting from manpower to machinery.

It is believed that with the development situation, the mechanization of rural land will be more perfect in the future, rural wasteland can be reused, and there will be many development opportunities in rural areas.
