Various organizations and institutions have grown increasingly concerned with developing effective strategies for promoting sustainable agricultural systems, and the World Bank has done some good work in this area as of late. The requirements of sustainable agricultural systems require that they be environmentally sound, socially acceptable, and financially and economically feasible. This site provides information about the World Bank's different sectoral programs in this area, ranging from those dealing with aquaculture to those dealing with the subject of effective irrigation and drainage. Within each respective section, there is additional information about the World Bank's latest work in each area, along with several publications that will be of great interest to persons interested in these policies and agricultural analyses. The right-hand side of the site also provides recent publications of note, including significant works dealing with creating sustainable methods of the production of coffee beans. This has been added to Agriculture Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog. [From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2003. http://scout.wisc.edu/]
