Agriculture - is a science and art of growing plants and other crops, and the raising of animals for food, other human needs, or economic gain. NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF AGRICULTURE ON THE ENVIRONMENT Land Transformation - due to the use of land to yield goods and services. Examples of this include clearing forests to make way. for parks or gardens. 02 Land Degradation - the long-term decline in ecosystem function and productivity such as soil erosion, soil exhaustion, soil salinization, etc. 02 Types of Pesticides 01 02 03 FUMIGANTS ORGANOPHOSPHATES CHLORINATED HYDROCARBONS - are among the most abundantly - also known as organochlorines, are - are generally small molecular used synthetic pesticides. highly toxic and persistent to compounds, like ethylene sensitive organisms. dibromide, methylene bromide, and carbon tetrachloride. Types of Pesticides 04 05 06 MICROBIAL AGENTS AND INORGANIC PESTICIDES NATURAL ORGANIC PESTICIDES BIOLOGICAL CONTROLS - are compounds made from toxic - also known as botanicals, are - use living organisms or toxins elements, like sulfur, copper, extracts from plants. An example extracted from them that are used arsenic, and mercury. before was nicotine and nicotinoid instead of pesticides. alkaloids extracted from tobacco, and pyrethrum, extracted from Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium. Sustainable Agriculture and Food Nutrition Impacts of Environment on Agriculture 01 02 Heavy rainfall and Global warming Flooding 03 Acid Rain 04 Wind Erosion 05 Landslides Why Sustainable Agriculture matters? 04  Why Sustainable Agriculture matters? 01 02 03 04 CONTRIBUTES TO PREVENTS POLLUTION REDUCES COSTS KEEPS BIODIVERSITY ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION - it help protect natural resources, - by minimizing the use of harmful - farmers practicing sustainable - sustainable farming methods such as soil, water, and air quality, chemicals and adopting organic agriculture often experience lower encourage the preservation of ensuring that ecosystems remain farming methods, sustainable input costs through reduced diverse plant and animal species, healthy and resilient. agriculture reduces pollution from reliance on synthetic fertilizers and which enhances ecosystem stability agricultural runoff and promotes pesticides, leading to greater and resilience against pests and cleaner ecosystems. economic efficiency. diseases. Why Sustainable Agriculture matters? 05 06 07 RESPECTS THE ENVIRONMENT PROFITS FARMERS ECONOMICALLY PRESERVES SOCIAL EQUITY - sustainable agriculture emphasizes - by focusing on sustainable practices, - sustainable agriculture supports fair harmony with nature, promoting farmers can tap into niche markets for labor practices and equitable access to practices that maintain ecological balance organic and locally-sourced products, often resources, fostering community and protect natural habitats. leading to higher profit margins. development and social justice within agricultural systems. Drawbacks of Limited use of land which makes it difficult to produce 01 large quantities of food. Therefore, mass production is not possible. Sustainable 02 It takes more work since the use of machines is minimal or eliminated, it takes more time and people Agriculture to successfully produce plants, which slows down the production. Shorter shelf life since decomposing occurs faster in 03 food that is produced sustainably, causing it to have a shorter shelf life. Less fertile lands since it is quite hard to increase the 04 fertility of land just by rotating crops and without the use of fertilizers and other chemicals. 05 Lower income because the land is used sparingly, the income that is generated from farming is very limited. Food and Nutrition Despite dire predictions that runaway population growth would soon lead to terrible famines, world food supplies have more than kept up with increasing human numbers over the past two centuries. Eat enough calories Poverty is the greatest threat to food security. Food security occurs at multiple scales. CONCLUSION Sustainable agriculture protects the environment and ensures future food production. Traditional agriculture causes land degradation, deforestation, and pollution. Pesticides, though useful, harm wildlife and ecosystems. Climate change and environmental issues make farming more challenging. Food insecurity affects millions, mainly due to poverty, not food scarcity. Sustainable farming helps but needs support to address hunger and poverty. BROUGHT TO YOU BY: GROUP 1 THANK YOU FOR LISTENING MAS MASARAP PAG-FIRST CHOICE...
