      abstract = {There is a great deal of concern today to ensure that  economic development, including agricultural development,  is sustainable. It is being increasingly emphasized that  this sustainability requires care to be taken of the  natural environment. This is because the natural  environment is both the source of important resources that  support economic activity and an avenue or sink for  disposal of wastes from economic activity.
Soil and water  are for example, important natural resources used in  agricultural production. However, other natural resources  used in agriculture include the raw materials from which  many fertilisers are produced, fossil fuels and so on. In  addition, wild cultars and relatives of cultivated plants  and domesticated livestock provide a genetic reservoir that  may be very useful in sustaining agricultural  production.
If attention is not paid to the sustainability  of economic production, future generations may be  impoverished and even present generations may experience a  future drop in their incomes. For example, this result  clearly follows when land management or its use results in  a rapid rate of soil erosion and loss of the valuable  topsoil.},
