Policies that Promote Protection of Natural Resource Base

Implementing Policies that Promote Protection of Natural Resource Base 

Input subsidies sometimes promote inappropriate use of inputs which has a negative effect on natural resources. Such policies should be discouraged or closely monitored. Discouraging agriculture in unsuitable marginal lands and their use for environment-friendly purposes, conservation agriculture, and use of input-use efficient technologies are some of the options to help protect natural resources.
