Modern agriculture practices that may results increase in crop yields by using inorganic amendments and in opposite it decreases the quality of food products and affects the fertility and biota of soil a lot mainly in drought areas that mainly cause effect to the small and marginal farmers in the form of investment. Here a day old practice called sustainable integrated agriculture helps a lot. Sustainable agriculture is the utilization of resources in such a way to meet the global food demand and conserve soil fertility for future generations. Drought prone areas are increasing rapidly around the globe majorly in India due to climate change which causes great damage to agriculture. This scenario can somehow be reduced by practicing sustainable agriculture and use of on farm agriculture resources which are eco-friendly. In order to implement sustainable resource management, we should definitely look back to traditional system of farming by using organic amendments and we should somehow consider modern practices too. Use of external inputs is minimized by enhancing the recycling of in-situ waste material in integrated manner within the farm system which includes crops and it allied wastes which are benefited by each other (i.e. Pulse, millets, fruits, vegetable, fodder and agro forestry, cattle, poultry, farm pond along with aquaculture). This may boost up livelihoods of farmers. KEYWORDS: Drought, Farm resources, Farmers, Integrated farming, Sustainable agriculture. |
