Solution

No, I don't think that concern over commercialisation of agriculture is justified in the present time. Commercialisation of agriculture involves raising crops and livestock to sell for a profit. The goal of commercial agriculture is to make profits by maximising crop yields through labour - saving techiques, use of fertilisers, hybrid seeds and the use of farming machinery. Commercialisation of agriculture helps to increase productivity. In the present context, it is of utmost importance because to feed the ever-growing population, the productivity of agriculture has to be increased which is possible only by promoting commercial agriculture.
