Agriculture plays a major role in economic
growth and development. As the provider of food
it is a cornerstone of human existence. As a
furnisher of industrial raw materials it is an
important contributor to economic activity in
other sectors of the economy. Agriculture is a
substantial user of natural resources,
particularly land and water. Its activities have
a major impact on the availability of these
resources and their quality. As an industry
founded on biology, agriculture has a major
impact on ecosystems and on non-agricultural
plants and animals, particularly in terms of
biodiversity. As with most forms of human
activity, agricultural activities can have
negative environmental impacts (generate
negative environmental externalities) manifested
in soil degradation and erosion, air and water
pollution, and loss of biodiversity. However, in
contrast to many other forms of economic
activity, agriculture can also generate positive
externalities as reflected in the creation and
maintenance of attractive landscapes, and
contributing to the management of water supplies
and maintenance of wildlife habitat. Given the
above context, this study made an attempt to
briefly review the contribution of agriculture
to economic growth and environmental quality. It
explores the possible solutions to boost up
agricultural inclusive growth through
technological innovations and further argued for
sustainable natural resources management as well
as supply chains system. It highlights the
importance of gender issues in agriculture and
financial inclusion. Finally, it is concluded
that technological interventions combined with
appropriate institutional innovations to
strengthen farm delivery system and improve the
distribution of growth benefits, where
environmentally sustainable principles are being
ensured. A descriptive methodology is followed.
