Description
Improving agricultural productivity involves implementing practical measures to increase crop yields and livestock output while optimizing resource use. Key actions include adopting improved seed varieties, modern farming techniques, efficient irrigation, integrated pest management, and soil fertility enhancement. These strategies address challenges such as food insecurity, land degradation, and low farmer incomes by boosting production efficiency, reducing losses, and ensuring sustainable use of agricultural inputs, thereby supporting rural livelihoods and food supply stability.
Implementation
This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities. Agenda 21 recommends, where appropriate, strengthening existing advisory services and training staff, developing and testing new technologies and facilitating the adoption of practices to upgrade and maintain full productivity of the land.
