nonindustrial
Lacking factory production
Nonindustrial describes economies, regions, or activities not based on manufacturing or heavy industry.
A nonindustrial society relies on agriculture, services, or traditional crafts rather than factories: nonindustrial nations, nonindustrial uses of land.
The term often contrasts developing regions with industrialized ones.
