Farmers' attitudes towards sustainable agriculture issues and environmental quality in a selected area of Bangladesh

Article Abstract:

Lack of adequate technical training, intensive cultivation and loss of soil fertility have undermined the growth of local farmers in selected areas in Bangladesh. The rapidly growing population in these regions has also contributed to the fragmentation of land, raising a number of sustainability issues. In order to address these problems, farmers need to enhance organizational participation that would create efficient solutions to various farm problems. Maintaining soil quality may also be made possible by seeking financial assistance from local government units or non-government organizations.

Economic methods for comparing alternative crop production systems: a review of the literature

Article Abstract:

The economic comparisons of conventional and alternative agricultural methods focus mainly on profitability and ignore environmental aspects. Economists fail to evaluate the importance of environmental effects, whereas the environmentalists' biophysical simulation models fail to provide an economic basis for crop system evaluation. A balanced approach that incorporates profitability, stability of profits, predicted environmental effects, and stability of environmental effects is necessary for proper comparison of the two systems.

Evaluating the sustainability of alternative farming systems: a case study

Article Abstract:

A case study of two farmlands in the Conservation Reserve Program in Putnam County, Missouri, reveals that alternative farming is more sustainable than conventional farming. Alternative farming systems are environment-friendly, and economically and socially acceptable. They cause less topsoil loss and support 50% more cows for grazing than conventional methods. The alternative systems need less commercial input, are economically profitable and create more job opportunities.
