innovation for sustainable agriculture and risheries

Sustainable Agriculture

This is the ability of an agricultural system to maintain its productivity, profitability and environmental integrity over time. It prioritizes the long erm health and resilience of agricultural systems

It includes

Food security- providing nutritious food for human consumption

Environmental stewardship: conserving natural resources, reduces pollution

Economic viability: Ensuring profitability of the system

Social equity : promoting fair labour practices and supporting local communities

Issues

Environmental : climate change, pollution, soil degradation, biodiversity loss

Economic: Agricultural debt , support and subsidies, market volatility, trade policies

Social: Food insecurity, rural poverty, labour exploration, land rights

Sustainable injovation : precision agriculture

Drones: can monitor crop health, detect pests and diseases

Satellite imaging : They can provide detailed info on the crop, soil, weather

GPS and auto steering: these can optimize planting, irrigation and harvesting
