Sustainable Practices for the Agricultural Industries: An Environmental Perspective

Joshi Dilipkumar Rameshchandra; Dr.  B. R. Pandey; Dr. R. K. Singh

Abstract

The growing demands of food and relate products led to replacement of manual means of farming to mechanized farming. Agricultural equipment manufacturing industries play a vital role to promote agribusiness sector of India. Indian farming or the agricultural tools industry spread over the range of equipment utilized for the various tasks throughout the farming value chain. Production of the fundamental farming implements has been basically by the tiny devices along with the village artisans, tiny scale industries as well as the “State Agro-Industrial Development Corporations”. Hence agricultural machineries and implements started growing in demand and manufacturing started taking place. It went on increasing and still increasing This further led to influencing environmental pollution in reverse way. This research papers aims to explore the present impact of agriculture implements manufacturing sectors with its effects on environment and pollution and analyze the means and various steps to reduce the same.
