Name: Instructor: Course: Date: Sustainable Agriculture Sustainable agriculture is the process of producing animal and plant products with the inclusion of food in a manner aimed at using farming practices and techniques aimed at protecting the environment communities public health as well as general animal welfare. Sustainable agriculture will allow farmers to produce and enjoy an influx of health foods without putting pressure and compromising any future farming generation’s ability to do the same farming. It is noted that the “key to this sustainable agriculture is balancing between environmental ecosystems preservation and the need to produce food” (Clay 570). Sustainable agriculture will as well lead to economic stability promotion as it helps farmers in bettering their level of life. 40 percent of the global populations are working in agriculture making it the biggest employer and economic generator. On the other hand there is conventional farming which can also be “The increase will be aimed at satisfying the approximately 9.6 billion world population of that period” (Gliessman 384). This means that better measures should be improvised aimed at ensuring a sustainable production process that will fit the ever-increasing population. This is why sustainable agriculture should be the key and benchmark to production. Works Cited Clay J. World Agriculture and the Environment: a Commodity by Commodity Guide to Impacts and Practices.
