Sustainable Argiculture
New Farming Era
Sustainable agriculture is
farming in sustainable ways meeting society's present food and textile
needs, without compromising the ability for current or future generations
to meet their needs. It can be based on an understanding of ecosystem
services. There are many methods to increase the sustainability of
agriculture. When developing agriculture within sustainable food systems,
it is important to develop flexible business process and farming
practices.
Agriculture has an enormous environmental footprint, playing a significant
role in causing climate change, water scarcity, land degradation,
deforestation and other processes; it is simultaneously causing
environmental changes and being impacted by these changes. Developing
sustainable food systems, contributes to the sustainability of the human
population. For example, one of the best ways to mitigate climate change
is to create sustainable food systems based on sustainable agriculture.
