Search Sustainable Development Topics Agriculture Chapter 14 of Agenda 21 , on sustainable agriculture and rural development (SARD), notes that, by the year 2025, 83 per cent of the expected global population of 8.5 billion will be living in developing countries. Yet the capacity of available resources and technologies to satisfy the demands of this growing population for food and other agricultural commodities remains uncertain. Agriculture has to meet this challenge, mainly by increasing production on land already in use and by avoiding further encroachment on land that is only marginally suitable for cultivation. CSD and Agriculture In accordance with its multi-year programme of work, agriculture as an economic sector was a major focus of CSD-8 in 2000, along with integrated planning and management of land resources as the sectoral theme. The supporting documentation and the discussions highlighted the linkages between the economic, social and environmental objectives of sustainable agriculture. The Commission adopted decision 8/4 which identified 12 priorities for action. It reaffirmed that the major objectives of SARD are to increase food production and enhance food security in an environmentally sound way so as to contribute to sustainable natural resource management. It noted that food security-although a policy priority for all countries-remains an unfulfilled goal. It also noted that agriculture has a special and important place in society and helps to sustain rural life and land.

Extractions: Filed under: Archer-Daniels-Midland (ADM) Commodities Agriculture Stocks to Buy Readers of this space know that one of my preferred sectors is agriculture due to the boom in food consumption created by emerging market economic growth. Real incomes are rising in nations in Asia, Latin America and the Middle East, and with it, per capita food consumption is increasing, a trend that benefits Archer Daniels Midland. The frenzy that accompanied the financial world's realization that bio could represent a renewable energy form, for some energy users, appears to be tapering (thankfully). Still, although the bloom is off the biofuel rose, the key driver here remains in-place: commodities for food use. Demand for wheat, corn, soybean and other food basics is likely to remain strong through at least the end of 2009, propelled by the aforementioned emerging market growth.
