does not look at the established rules, the green revolution also
creates economic injustice and social inequality. Economic injustice
arises because of monopolistic practices in the provision of agricultural
production facilities, while social inequality occurs between farmers
and communities outside farmers [3].
The existence of these dynamics encourages the emergence of ideas
to develop an agricultural system that can last to the next generation
and does not damage nature. In the last two decades, the concept of
green agriculture has developed which is an implementation of the
concept of green agriculture development. The development of green
agriculture aims to increase the income and welfare of the farming
community at large through an increase in agricultural production
which is carried out in a balanced manner by taking into account the
carrying capacity of the ecosystem so that production sustainability
can be maintained in the long term by minimizing environmental
damage [4].
Various studies on green agriculture have been carried out, including
showing evidence that green agriculture can increase productivity
higher than conventional agriculture. A study of 286 sustainable
agriculture projects in 57 developing countries in Africa, Asia and the
Americas between 1999 and 2000 showed an average yield increase
of up to 79%. These projects apply more efficient water use
techniques, increase the amount of organic matter in the soil and
carbon sequestration, and control pests, weeds and plant diseases
with integrated pest management techniques. In that year, it was
recorded that 12.6 million farmers had adopted sustainable
agricultural practices with an agricultural area of 37 million hectares or
equivalent to 3% of the arable land area in Africa, Asia and Latin
America [5].
