| description | Multifunctional agriculture (MFA) has emerged as a key
concept in science and politics with respect to the future
of agriculture and rural development in the recent decade.
Overall, MFA implies that in addition to their main function in
production and support of rural livelihood, the agricultural activities
have some other advantages for the environment
including the conservation of water and soil resources and the
enhancement of food security. This paper takes a look at the
benefits of MFA as a concept and path toward agricultural development
from an integrated perspective within the framework
of sustainable development. Also, it tries to clarify the distinction
between MFA and conventional agriculture in sustainable development
approaches. |
