An Argument For Sustainable Agriculture

Introduction of Sustainable Agriculture Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines management as "serious and responsible management of human consignment" (Merriam-Webster, 2015). Sustainable agriculture is a way to not deplete soil, water, air, wildlife, or human community resources ("Community Alliance", 1997). These two principles represent agriculture that implements responsible land management in a way that does not consume natural resources or the human community.

What is sustainable agriculture? In order to judge the sustainability of agriculture, several relationships between agriculture and the fundamental properties for achieving sustainable development must be studied. In this research paper we will look for fact information on agricultural practices related to long-term stability of biodiversity, ecosystems and natural resources. We also compare historical and contemporary perspectives related to sustainability in resources and economics.

Introduction of Sustainable Agriculture Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines management as "serious and responsible management of human consignment" (Merriam-Webster, 2015). Sustainable agriculture is a way to not deplete soil, water, air, wildlife, or human community resources ("Community Alliance", 1997). These two principles explain the agriculture performing the responsible management of the land in an inexhaustible way. Reducing gender disparities in agriculture is an important part of improving the lives of developing countries and reducing hunger. If female farmers have the same resources as men, they can increase crop production by 20-30%. This will increase the total agricultural output of developing countries by 2.5 to 4% and reduce the food insecure population by 12 to 17%. (FAO, 2011) Women in developing countries do not have access to productive resources.

Many people in the agricultural world adopt the sense of urgency and direction pointed out by the concept of sustainable agriculture. The lack of a clear definition does not impair its authenticity. Sustainability has become indispensable for many government, commercial and non-profit agricultural research activities and is beginning to be integrated into agricultural policy. More and more farmers and ranchers are beginning their own sustainable development path and integrating integrated, innovative approaches into their business.
