ABSTRACT
Environmentally sustainable technologies may be broadly categorized as
end-of-pipe technology and clean technology. Progress towards sustainable
technologies in agriculture must call on farmers, agricultural economists,
scientists, and government to act as partners in a process of technical
change. Within this partnership approach, the government's role has a
vital role to play in promoting the integration of both technologies and
disseminating those technologies. As an integrated approach to establish
sustainable technologies, Korean-type precision farming such as the
integrated pest and nutrient management (IPNM) has the potential to make a major
contribution towards improving agricultural practice and then increasing
efficiency and reducing the impacts on the environment from agro-chemical
wastage.
