An increase in the global population has led to a higher demand for
food, besides complicating environmental, economic, and social issues.
Agricultural industries across the world have adopted modern
technologies to boost yields, but these methods frequently cause
environmental harm due to the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides
and insecticides. While the ‘green revolution’ has enhanced food
security for numerous regions, it has also worsened the qualities of
the environmental assets. Sustainable Agricultural Practices: Economic
and Environmental Implications presents a comprehensive exploration of
contemporary challenges and innovative solutions in agriculture. From
analysing the impact of total factor productivity (TFP) on
environmental sustainability to investigating trade relationships
among BIMSTEC countries (India, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand,
Nepal, Sri Lanka), this collected edition delves into some of the most
important agricultural questions today. Chapters cover diverse topics
such as food waste, unemployment and flood response in Bangladesh, as
well as the implications of agricultural growth on food security in
India and Pakistan. With contributions from scholars worldwide, this
collection offers valuable insights into the intricate nexus between
agricultural, environmental and socio-economic dynamics, fostering
informed policies and practices for a sustainable future. This
comprehensive collection provides insights for researchers and
academics in agriculture and environmental studies. Policy makers and
government officials, as well as international development
practitioners, may also reap benefits from the analysis of food
security issues, environmental health and socioeconomic development.
