Abstract

Environmental concerns and technological changes are closely interrelated factors in agricultural production. Technical innovations in the form of improved farming practices and new and more intensive applications of chemical inputs have resulted in an upward trend in grain yields. However, the increased usage of chemical inputs such as fertilizers, insecticides, and herbicides may also be significant sources of pollution. Other environmental concerns such as soil loss and the disposal of livestock wastes affect agricultural production capabilities and may degrade soil and water quality.
