Agricultural Innovations for Sustainable Crop Production Intensification

Michele Pisante, Fabio Stagnari, Cynthia A. Grant · 2012 · Italian Journal of Agronomy

Summary. Sustainable crop production intensification requires linking farmers' local knowledge with science-based innovations through institutional arrangements. The paper reviews agronomic practices supporting sustainable systems, including crop selection, ecosystem-based farming, pest management, nutrient management, and irrigation technologies. It proposes seven contextual changes that demand examination of how agricultural innovation occurs and spreads to farm level.
