A New Perspective of Agroecosystem in 21st Century
Journal Title: Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research (BJSTR) - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Land is a living legend, including all eroded and forest land that all would contribute to agriculture. In a wider perspective, a long-term view will have to be taken to manage our soil, plant and bio-resources. Sustainable intensification of agriculture productivity enhancement and loss prevention is the only option to meet our growing requirement. Integrated water resource management approach for irrigated cropping systems per unit of agriculture water use holds key to both food and environmental security. For harnessing effective ecosystem based production, enhanced water use efficiency, promoting balanced use of nutrients and water and soil biota test based technology adoption is the needs of hour. Ecology is the study which represents the relationship among living things and their environment. It has been termed as such biotic and a biotic factors interacting with other in a specific location. Ecosystems are naturally self-sustaining process with basic component of photosynthesis, energy flow through food chain and nutrient recycling. But there is forth player too which act as a manipulators or managers of ecosystem for producing agricultural products i.e., agro ecosystem. Scientifically agro ecosystem has, mechanical -biological- chemical technology which is blended together. Keep in mind that in the natural ecosystem, agro-ecosystem increase in agriculture production should be with environmental protection. Ecology believes to be entire nature and it’s a development with enhanced efficiency effectiveness and relevance for well being. We need, vision, mission, vigor to have an enhanced planned growth. There is urgent need to consider ecology for sustained inclusive growth with wide system approach rather than fragmented approach. Techniques, innovation allowed increase in productivity which undermined the basis for that productivity. But such productivity enhancement causes overdrawn and degraded resources of all kinds like soil, water and natural genetic diversity. It created dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels that shows our system of production is not sustainable on long term basis. Also, notably emergence of new disease and pest and climate become threats, in such circumstances, the only option left is preserving the long term productivity considering the ecological agriculture for sustainability. In some areas the challenge is to revert the systems that have already undergone modernization and where farmers experience high environmental and economic costs due to reliance on agrochemicals. The idea is to transition from high input monocultures to more diversified farms that instead of being capital intensive are knowledge intensive, as the design of agro ecosystems that depend on ecological principles requires an in-depth knowledge of the interactions between crops, soils, and associated biodiversity. As we all know that the global human population may range 8.1 to 14.0 billion up to 2080, on an average of 9.0 billion populations at the end of year 2050 [1].
