Sustainable agriculture impacts on Food, economy and climate change

A
griculture is the backbone on with many develop and
developing states strives, Weather it is the production
of goods or service. Sustainable Agriculture is the method
or practice of producing food and textile to supply our social
needs in the present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs. Getting it right
with Agriculture will ensure tremendous opportunities in
areas not limited to long term employment, safer food,
healthier population, economic growth andmost importantly
getting it right with climate change. Healthy environment,
economic profitability and social and economic equity
are three main areas that Sustainable Agriculture tries to
integrate into society. Every individual who is involved in
the food system—growers, food processors, distributors,
retailers, consumers, and waste managers can play a role in
ensuring a sustainable agricultural system. As this creates and
maintain the platform for more research In food production
practices (Animal husbandry and Agronomy), food security
and value added products. As we are aware, climate change
is a certainty and it affects many economic sectors, including
agriculture. It would affect production, such as crop and
livestock, differently. Vast regional differences are expected
for various parts of theworld. Trade patternsmay change, and
the entire supply chains may require reorganization. Overall,
the economic fortunes of producers in different parts of the
world would be affected. These distributive effects could
even threaten food security in certain parts of the world.
Agricultural sustainability may be especially threatened by
climate extremes, such as heat waves, droughts, and floods.
However, not all changes induced by climate change would
be negative; some may even be positive. Undoubtedly, there
would be gainers and losers within a nation, as well as among
countries. Gains and losses would also change with time,
depending on the various climate thresholds reached, for
example. Achieving sustainability would require changes in
the way wemanage agriculture. Therefore, equally important
in this discourse is to find solutions to achieve sustainability
in the wake of climate change, one of the major threats to
sustainability.
