The current agricultural practices are unsustainable, leads to agrochemical pollution, top soil loss, loss of biodiversity, depleting aquifers and deforestation etc, while working towards achieving higher economic profit and conservation of natural resource.

Debate for the month?
Every body is saying Sustainable Agriculture practices are the best tool for getting better yield. It allows low external inputs and mainly depends on local resources. My question is Can Sustainable agriculture practices is going to feed existing population hunger? If it is yes explain or if it is no explain.

Dear Manju
ReplyDeleteGood question, With my experience sustainable agriculture is only way to address hunger. another point is providing good healthy, chemical free food through sustainable agriculture
Dear Manjunath,
ReplyDeleteSurely sustainable agriculture feeds the entire existing population if this is practiced by atleast 50% of farming community
This is suitable for marginal land holder by practicing in 2 to 3 acres of land
