The transformation from the input-intensive and environmentally
detrimental “Green Revolution” approach towards a more
sustainable “Green Agriculture” paradigm seeks to enhance the
efficient utilization of natural resources, strengthen
environmental protection, and promote the integration of
conventional agricultural knowledge with modern,
environmentally responsible technologies.
This transition encompasses the adoption of sustainable
agricultural inputs, including organic fertilizers and
environmentally friendly pest-control products, together with
improved management practices such as crop rotation,
conservation tillage, and integrated farming approaches. It also
encourages the application of emerging technologies, including
IoT-enabled monitoring systems, precision agriculture, and
renewable energy solutions, to sustain agricultural productivity
while reducing environmental pressures and improving overall
resource-use efficiency.
Six interconnected themes shaping the future of sustainable,
resilient and technology-enabled agriculture.
