Abstrakt

Sustainable agriculture synthesizes a variety of concepts associated with agricultural practices and their socio-economic impact. In general, it can be argued that sustainable agriculture must be ecologically sound, economically viable, and socially responsible [Ikerd, 1994], In this article some aspects of the development of sustainable agriculture in Lithuania are analysed within the framework of ecological economics. First, an outline of the problem is presented. Then the concept of sustainable development is shortly discussed. Finally, sustainable agriculture is discussed within the context of environmental economics and reąuirements for the development of sustainable agriculture in Lithuania are elaborated.
