What Is Sustainable Agriculture?
A detailed account of how sustainable agriculture integrates environmental health, economic profitability Category Science Agriculture sustainable agricultureWhat is sustainable agriculture? Today this movement for sustainable agriculture isgarnering increasing support and acceptance within mainstream agriculture.
http://www.sarep.ucdavis.edu/concept.htm

Extractions: December 1997 A griculture has changed dramatically, especially since the end of World War II. Food and fiber productivity soared due to new technologies, mechanization, increased chemical use, specialization and government policies that favored maximizing production. These changes allowed fewer farmers with reduced labor demands to produce the majority of the food and fiber in the U.S. Although these changes have had many positive effects and reduced many risks in farming, there have also been significant costs.Prominent among these are topsoil depletion, groundwater contamination, the decline of family farms, continued neglect of the living and working conditions for farm laborers, increasing costs of production, and the disintegration of economic and social conditions in rural communities. A growing movement has emerged during the past two decades to question the role of the agricultural establishment in promoting practices that contribute to these social problems. Today this movement for sustainable agriculture is garnering increasing support and acceptance within mainstream agriculture. Not only does sustainable agriculture address many environmental and social concerns, but it offers innovative and economically viable opportunities for growers, laborers, consumers, policymakers and many others in the entire food system.

Sustainable Agriculture And Rural Development...Concept
Sustaining and protecting the soil and natural resources for production.
http://iisd1.iisd.ca/ic/info/ss9507.htm

Extractions: The World Commission on Environment and Development drew attention to the common challenges of population growth, the need for strategies for sustaining food security and the need to conserve natural resources. Agenda 21, the plan of action for implementing sustainable development elaborated further. It states "Major adjustments are needed in agricultural, environmental and macroeconomic policy, at both national and international levels, in developed as well as developing countries, to create the conditions for sustainable agriculture and rural development. The major objective of sustainable agriculture and rural development is to increase food production in a sustainable way and enhance food security. This will involve education initiatives, utilization of economic incentives and the development of appropriate and new technologies, thus ensuring stable supplies of nutritionally adequate food, access to those suppies by vulnerable groups, and production for markets; employment and income generation to alleviate poverty; and natural resource management and environmental protection.

Study reveals that environmental damage threatens future world food production World food production is at risk from farming methods that have degraded soils, parched aquifers, polluted waters, and caused the loss of animal and plant species, according to a new report by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the World Resources Institute (WRI). Study reveals potential benefits of climate protection policies for U.S. farmers. Report released at the start of global negotiations on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) finds that implementing policies to address climate change will benefit U.S. farmers. Global study reveals new warning signals: Degraded agricultural lands threaten world's food production capacity . The most comprehensive mapping of global agriculture to date reports that nearly 40 percent of the world's agricultural land is seriously degraded, which raises red flags about its long-term capacity to produce food.
