Ecological Intensification of Natural Resources Towards Sustainable Productive System

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Ecological Intensification of Natural Resources for Sustainable Agriculture

Abstract

As per the estimates of FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) world’s population would be requiring 60% more food in comparison to present times till 2050. The situation is worser due to limitation in terms of availability of arable lands. In this context, intensification in the agricultural sector is the basic requirement for both developed and developing nations. Intensification towards sustainability is an important aspect for sustainable utilization of resource and its management. Policy formulation, strategies and technological growth should take place at the scientific level and executed at the farmers level in order to reduce inputs and maximize the yield and productivity. This would also help in maintaining agro-biodiversity along with ecosystem services followed by livelihood sustenance. Therefore, innovation in the field of agroecology through incentive-based practices may give fruitful results. Ecological intensification (EI) has an integrated approach by improving production along with maintenance of environmental quality. EI addresses various issues such as food security as well as technological intervention in the form of organic farming, conservation agriculture, climate smart practices, etc. Above all it addresses the issues of environmental sustainability through proper strategy formulations, good governance and generation of awareness for adoption of EI for economic and ecological gain.
