Home Site Map Calendar Search ... Webmaster What is Sustainable Agriculture? Concept Themes Farming and Natural Resources Plant Production Practices Animal Production Practices 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 Educational Project Homepage First of all, why is there such an interest in sustainable agriculture? Eating food is necessary for survival, and most people desire maintaining a secure supply of food. Currently, the world's agricultural output exceeds the dietary needs of all humans on this planet. Widespread hunger in parts of the world are due mainly to the failure of political and economic systems to distribute the food. So if enough food is being currently produced in the world, what is all this concern about "sustainable agriculture?" The major concern is that while we may be able to feed the world today, future generations may not have adequate food production to satisfy their dietary needs. We know that some farming and land use techniques are not sustainable. For example, the Middle East used to be known as the "Fertile Crescent," but now much of that land is desert. Poor land use planning and unsustainable agricultural practices has lead to desertification and declining soil fertility in that region. Farmers and environmentalist alike are interested in creating cropping systems that have the potential to produce similar yields year after year with no decline in fertility. Creating a truely sustainable farming system is a very difficult task. Farmers must choose individually for themselves what methods are best for their own situation. Farmers must worry about maintaining soil fertility, stopping soil erosion, avoiding soil compaction, protecting their crops from pests, using adequate amounts of water, working within political systems, making a liveable wage, and creating a product that is safe to eat.

[ Back to Hot Topics ] Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development...Concept 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. (Agenda 21 1992, ). SELECTED SOURCES Acton, D.F and L.J. Gregorish (eds).
