Dear Moderator
As to me sustainable farming system requires proper land use planning and cropping patter as mono cropping practice is the major cause for production decline due to decreased soil fertility, It also develops resistance to pests and diseases which is the main factor for production decline and food and nutrition insecurity
Inadequate understanding of food security in its full content also aggravates food and nutrition insecurity. Heavy focus on food availability while ignoring access issues and utilization where the importance of nutrition comes in.
Sustainable farming system also requires research, extension and farmers linkages to identify underlying causes of food and nutrition insecurity in order to design remedial measures. Considering the hidden hunger such as zinc defficiency, the need for biofortification, nutrition education and demonstration of vegetable meal preparation using school garden, farmers field days are essential
