Climate varies enormously within a country, thus by working with climate data for the specific area and the market data, one can determine which markets are affected by local environmental variability, and which are controlled by the regional and international price variation. Here is a paper, recently published, that examines these issues: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2012.03.005

  Integrating environmental observations into market analyses

  As agriculture growing conditions become more unpredictable as the climate warms, developing methods that enable integration of environmental conditions into food price analysis will be important. As agriculture growing conditions become more unpredictable as the climate warms, developing methods that enable integration of environmental conditions into food price analysis will be important. What approaches are most promising? What new datasets will be needed to understand market dynamics for staple foods? What assumptions are made in these analyses, such as market functioning, the role of global commodity prices, growing conditions in major export markets, exchange rates?

  What are the best methods to reduce the risk of harmful substances and chemicals used in agricultural production on environment?

  Chemicals are an integrated part of our life. Many products would not exist without these, and therefore they are a necessity. However, there are almost 100,000 types of chemicals that areChemicals are an integrated part of our life. Many products would not exist without these, and therefore they are a necessity. However, there are almost 100,000 types of chemicals that are indispensable, but are greatly affecting our environment. An international effort is needed to reduce the risk these substances pose. With regard to aspects of the economy, the UN has to take steps towards alleviation. Scientific assessments and legal instruments are considered to be the proper tools of regulating dangerous substances. Thorough research is needed, and significant action is to be taken, if we are to protect our planet. Questions remain, and a balance is to be found between interfering in economic interests, thus everyday life, and sustaining our environment for future generations.

There is a significance need to educate all the stakeholders about the impact of these chemicals on agriculture. Further, This strategy may suggest crop rotation, crop holiday practices. I feel it is the high time to modify the seeds which are pest resistant and high yield varieties etc. In majority of the developing countries in which Agriculture is the backbone, there is no good interaction between industry , research institutions and the community. This scenario must be changed and all stakeholders should work together to design the effective strategy to minimize the risk.
