Transitions are long term deep structural changes in society. The economic theory that comes closest to this concept is that of the Kondratieff Business Cycles. These describe the five industrial revolutions western societies have experienced in the last 250 years. Each revolutionary wave is characterised by 4 phases. This paper compares the concept of transition with that of industrial waves and explores the effects of these five waves on agriculture. The analysis suggests that in the coming years ICT might have a major impact on the organisation and structure of agriculture, comparable to the deployment of the tractor and pesticides in the 1950s.
