Every day, the food you eat connects to a vast global network of farmers, dealers, food producers, merchants, and a slew of other persons involved in the process of getting food from farm to fork. People tends to forget about it when munching on a piece of fruit or a loaf of bread, yet the global food system lies at the centre of many of today’s most critical challenges.
With direct responsibility for the environment, an agricultural or food company has a greater role in developing a more sustainable, fair, and competitive system as well as preserving and relaunching biodiversity. All participants in the food chain, especially farmers, will gain if sustainability is included into their operations if food production and consumption are sustainable.
Agricultural production is predicted to rise in the post-liberalization period, as will diversity and growth of horticulture and the use of new technology, in addition to an increase in export volumes and the expansion of the food processing sector.
Raising agricultural productivity is essential if we want to see a rise in farmer incomes, and this calls for better yields, more efficient use of resources, lower losses of crops, and assurances that producers are paid fairly for their goods.
Farmers from across the world are included in this book’s case studies, demonstrating the best practises for sustainable agriculture. As a result, they explain how the six Farming First Principles may be used locally to ensure a food secure future and long-term development.
Focusing on extending access to seeds may provide significant benefits, demonstrating the importance of prioritising policies that benefit farmers the most.
Conventional agricultural jobs like picking fruits, weeding, and applying water or fertiliser are progressively being replaced by robots and drones. Images from drones and satellites, combined with GPS technology, provide a high-resolution and location-specific view of the region.
There are several ways that the researcher might increase agricultural productivity and farmer income. The researcher finds that enhanced seed replacement rates may reasonably be expected to lead to a 10 percent improvement in yield.
