 in other words: When you drive a car, the
engine burns fuel which creates a certain
amount of CO2, depending on its fuel
consumption and the driving distance. When
you heat your house with oil, gas or coal,
then you also generate CO2. Even if you heat
your house with electricity, the generation of
the electrical power may also have emitted a
certain amount of CO2. When you buy food
and goods, the production of the food and
goods also emitted some quantities of CO2.
CO2 can be emitted through
transport land clearance

IS EVERYTHING
CLEAR ?
Agriculture
It is the act of farming using
principles of --
 Ecology
 The study of relationships between
organisms and their environment.
 Definition: "Sustainable agriculture is the
efficient production of safe, high quality
agricultural products, in a way that protects
and improves the natural environment,
the social and economic conditions of
farmers, their employees and local
communities, and safeguards the health and
welfare of all farmed species."
 sustain the economic viability of farm
operations
 enhance the quality of life for farmers and
society as a whole."
 ;
 make the most efficient use of nonrenewable
resources and on-farm resources and
integrate, where appropriate, natural
biological cycles and controls
 satisfy human food and fiber needs;
 enhance environmental quality and the
natural resource base upon which the
agricultural economy depends;
 Environmental Preservation
 Upholding Animal Welfare
 Sustaining Vibrant Communities
 Protection of Public Health
 Sustaining Vibrant Communities
 Sustainable farms produce crops and raise
animals without relying on toxic chemical
pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, genetically
modified seeds, G or practices that degrade
soil, water, or other natural resources. By
growing a variety of plants and using techniques
such as crop rotation, conservation tillage, and
pasture-based livestock husbandry G,
sustainable farms protect biodiversity and foster
the development and maintenance of healthy
ecosystems.
 Sustainable farmers and ranchers treat
animals with care and respect, implementing
livestock husbandry practices that protect
animals' health and wellbeing. By raising
livestock on pasture, these farmers enable
their animals to move freely, engage in
instinctive behaviors, consume a natural diet,
and avoid the stress and illness associated
with confinement.
 A critical component of sustainable
agriculture is its ability to remain
economically viable, providing farmers,
farmworkers, food processors, and others
employed in the food system with a livable
wage and safe, fair working
conditions. Sustainable farms also bolster
local and regional economies, creating good
jobs and building strong communities.
 Food production should never come at the
expense of human health. Since sustainable crop
farms avoid hazardous pesticides, they're able to
grow fruits and vegetables that are safer for
consumers, workers, and surrounding
communities. Likewise, sustainable livestock
farmers and ranchers raise animals without
dangerous practices like use of nontherapeutic
antibiotics G or arsenic-based growth
promoters. Through careful, responsible
management of livestock waste, sustainable
farmers also protect humans from exposure to
pathogens, toxins, and other hazardous
pollutants.
 Unfortunately, most food produced in the US is no longer
grown or raised on sustainable farms. During the mid-
1900s, US agriculture began to industrialize, becoming
increasingly mechanized and reliant upon resource-
intensive inputs like synthetic fertilizers and chemical
pesticides. Over time, farms became larger, more
specialized, and centralized, creating a process of extreme
consolidation that drove many small farms out of
business, and ultimately resulted in market control by a
handful of powerful corporations. Although industrial
agriculture now produces great quantities of food at low
prices, it is able to do so only by implementing practices
that threaten the environment, human health, rural
communities, and animal welfare.
 Is due to wind and water erosion of exposed
topsoil; soil compaction; loss of soil organic
matter, water holding capacity, and biological
activity; and salinization of soils and
irrigation water in irrigated farming areas.
 due to overgrazing
 it is a growing
problem, especially
in parts of Africa
 due to overuse of
surface and ground
water for irrigation
with little concern
for the natural cycle
that maintains
stable water
availability.
 Industrial Agricultural contribute to water
pollutants that include: sediments, salts,
fertilizers, pesticides, and manures. This
leades to Eutrophication
 .Reduced water quality –
this affects
• agricultural production
• drinking water supplies,
• fishery production.
 over 400 insects and mite pests and more
than 70 fungal pathogens that have become
resistant to one or more pesticides
 declining of pollinator and other beneficial
species through pesticide use
 loss of wetlands and wildlife habitat
 Agriculture's link to global climate change is
just beginning to be appreciated. Destruction
of tropical forests and other native vegetation
for agricultural production has a role in
elevated levels of carbon dioxide and other
greenhouse gases
 Selection of species and varieties that are well
suited to the site and to conditions on the
farm;
 Diversification of crops (including livestock)
and cultural practices to enhance the
biological and economic stability of the farm;
 Management of the soil to enhance and
protect soil quality;
 Efficient and humane use of inputs; and
 Consideration of farmers' goals and lifestyle
choices.
 Water
 Energy
 Air
 Soil.
 Water is the principal resource that has
helped agriculture and society to prosper,
and it has been a major limiting factor when
mismanaged.
Several steps should be taken to develop
drought-resistant farming systems
 improving water conservation and storage
measures
 providing incentives for selection of
drought-tolerant crop species
 using reduced-volume irrigation systems
 managing crops to reduce water loss
 salinization and contamination
solutions-
 use of salt-tolerant crops
 low-volume irrigation
 various management techniques
 non-renewable energy sources
 In sustainable agricultural there is reduced
use of non-renewable energy sources and
maximum use of labour
 smoke from agricultural burning
 dust from tillage
 traffic and harvest
 pesticide drift from spraying
 nitrous oxide emissions from the use of
nitrogen fertilizer
 Soil erosion –a threat
 No-till farming
 Keyline design
 Growing wind breaks to hold the soil
 Various cropping patterns
So we are coming to
an end ………
In order to sustain something in our environment ,
for our future generations ,
We will have to prepare for a mass movement
That will change the world.

  • 4.  in other words: When you drive a car, the engine burns fuel which creates a certain amount of CO2, depending on its fuel consumption and the driving distance. When you heat your house with oil, gas or coal, then you also generate CO2. Even if you heat your house with electricity, the generation of the electrical power may also have emitted a certain amount of CO2. When you buy food and goods, the production of the food and goods also emitted some quantities of CO2.

  • 36.  Sustainable farms produce crops and raise animals without relying on toxic chemical pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, genetically modified seeds, G or practices that degrade soil, water, or other natural resources. By growing a variety of plants and using techniques such as crop rotation, conservation tillage, and pasture-based livestock husbandry G, sustainable farms protect biodiversity and foster the development and maintenance of healthy ecosystems.
  • 37.  Sustainable farmers and ranchers treat animals with care and respect, implementing livestock husbandry practices that protect animals' health and wellbeing. By raising livestock on pasture, these farmers enable their animals to move freely, engage in instinctive behaviors, consume a natural diet, and avoid the stress and illness associated with confinement.
  • 38.  A critical component of sustainable agriculture is its ability to remain economically viable, providing farmers, farmworkers, food processors, and others employed in the food system with a livable wage and safe, fair working conditions. Sustainable farms also bolster local and regional economies, creating good jobs and building strong communities.
  • 39.  Food production should never come at the expense of human health. Since sustainable crop farms avoid hazardous pesticides, they're able to grow fruits and vegetables that are safer for consumers, workers, and surrounding communities. Likewise, sustainable livestock farmers and ranchers raise animals without dangerous practices like use of nontherapeutic antibiotics G or arsenic-based growth promoters. Through careful, responsible management of livestock waste, sustainable farmers also protect humans from exposure to pathogens, toxins, and other hazardous pollutants.
  • 40.  Unfortunately, most food produced in the US is no longer grown or raised on sustainable farms. During the mid- 1900s, US agriculture began to industrialize, becoming increasingly mechanized and reliant upon resource- intensive inputs like synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides. Over time, farms became larger, more specialized, and centralized, creating a process of extreme consolidation that drove many small farms out of business, and ultimately resulted in market control by a handful of powerful corporations. Although industrial agriculture now produces great quantities of food at low prices, it is able to do so only by implementing practices that threaten the environment, human health, rural communities, and animal welfare.

  • 43.  due to overgrazing  it is a growing problem, especially in parts of Africa
  • 44.  due to overuse of surface and ground water for irrigation with little concern for the natural cycle that maintains stable water availability.
  • 45.  Industrial Agricultural contribute to water pollutants that include: sediments, salts, fertilizers, pesticides, and manures. This leades to Eutrophication
  • 46.  .Reduced water quality – this affects • agricultural production • drinking water supplies, • fishery production.
  • 47.  over 400 insects and mite pests and more than 70 fungal pathogens that have become resistant to one or more pesticides  declining of pollinator and other beneficial species through pesticide use  loss of wetlands and wildlife habitat
  • 48.  Agriculture's link to global climate change is just beginning to be appreciated. Destruction of tropical forests and other native vegetation for agricultural production has a role in elevated levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases
  • 49.  Selection of species and varieties that are well suited to the site and to conditions on the farm;  Diversification of crops (including livestock) and cultural practices to enhance the biological and economic stability of the farm;  Management of the soil to enhance and protect soil quality;  Efficient and humane use of inputs; and  Consideration of farmers' goals and lifestyle choices.

  • 51.  Water is the principal resource that has helped agriculture and society to prosper, and it has been a major limiting factor when mismanaged.
  • 52. Several steps should be taken to develop drought-resistant farming systems  improving water conservation and storage measures  providing incentives for selection of drought-tolerant crop species  using reduced-volume irrigation systems  managing crops to reduce water loss
  • 53.  salinization and contamination solutions-  use of salt-tolerant crops  low-volume irrigation  various management techniques
  • 54.  non-renewable energy sources  In sustainable agricultural there is reduced use of non-renewable energy sources and maximum use of labour
  • 55.  smoke from agricultural burning  dust from tillage  traffic and harvest  pesticide drift from spraying  nitrous oxide emissions from the use of nitrogen fertilizer
  • 56.  Soil erosion –a threat  No-till farming  Keyline design  Growing wind breaks to hold the soil  Various cropping patterns
