Economic and Environmental Implications to Sustainable Agricultural Practices: Insights from the Covered Studies

Abstract

With the rise in the global population size there has been a parallel increase in the food demand. The agricultural sector in most of the countries has now come up with the uses in the modern technologies resulting into high yield rates besides environmental damage. The new agricultural practices of today have thus both economic positivity and environmental negativity. The present book intends to investigate the growth of agricultural sector and its implications to national output and environmental sustainability. It covers up economic and environmental implications of the agricultural practices in the modern world across the nations and groups of nations. The summary output of the coverage of the entire book shows that modern agricultural practices have led to high growth of the agricultural sector but environment has lost its in situ feature leading to sustainability problems. The recommendations are offered in terms of environmentally sustainable agricultural practices which can mitigate the challenges of climate change.
