Now a days the term "ecological agriculture" is used extensively worldwide in the context of protecting environment. Different chemicals like fertilizers, pesticides etc. are used to produce agricultural products successfully those have adverse effect on environment. That is why the use of these types of chemicals should be minimized/reduced to protect environment in the context of "ecological agriculture". But the computation of "cost benefit ratio" of an agricultural product is a must for the farmers or producers as to understand their profit or loss. However, the question arises whether "cost benefit ratio" is a considerable parameter in "ecological agriculture" or not.
Yes, It is very much important to get back the return what we invest. Maybe not only in economic terms but social and ecological return also do a count in the benefit.
It very difficult to calculate economical benefits in terms of monetary returns of Environmental safety technologies. For researcher and environmentalists these technologies are very much convincing. But farming community essentially looking forward for economical benefits. So better to calculate b:c and ecological benefits too.
Yes definitely because it clearly indicate whether you are getting benefit or not
Here we have to consider the sustainability in productivity not in CB ratio
Respected Sir,
For my thesis work, we have calculated benefit-cost ratio. It is a field based study. On my observation, it is possible under ecological agriculture. There might be variations in BCR which is depends upon the environment, irrigation facility and climatic conditions of the cultivable area
