This book uses sound theoretical frameworks and econometric
techniques to rigorously analyze and explain the conditions of
sustainable growth in agriculture. It further investigates how
management of natural resources and technological advances can
enhance productivity and ensure sustainable growth in
agriculture. Optimal control theory, dynamic optimization
problems and theory of risk and uncertainty are extensively used
to create theoretical models for analyzing agricultural growth.
The results demonstrate that crop diversification, rainwater
harvesting and the use of organic fertilizers can ensure growth
in agriculture from a dynamic perspective. Further, they show how
excessive depletion of ground water, intensive farming and
overuse of chemicals in connection with the adoption of modern
technology in agriculture have placed tremendous strains on
natural resources like land and water, and have called into
question the sustainability of growth in the farming
sector.
