Sustainable Agricultural Development - JSS2 Agricultural science Lesson Note

Sustainable agricultural development constitutes a holistic approach that seeks to harmonise economic growth with environmental stewardship and social equity. This paradigm embraces principles such as conservation agriculture, which minimises soil disturbance and promotes crop diversity, and agroecology, which applies ecological principles to agricultural systems to enhance resilience and biodiversity. Moreover, community involvement is emphasised to ensure that development efforts are inclusive, participatory, and aligned with the needs and aspirations of local agricultural communities.
