Around the world, government run agricultural banks in poor countries once not only financed inputs, but also provided agricultural advice and spread new seed technologies.

Certain fertilizers and other agricultural chemical inputs are also known for their ability to contribute to the greenhouse effect.

Greenhouse gases are released from certain fertilizers and pesticide inputs, and from the clearing and converting of non agricultural lands.

Poor countries would receive prompt and predictable financing for agricultural inputs from a single account, rather than from dozens of distinct and fragmented donors.

A 1 million emergency project included agricultural inputs and equipment, as well as numerous training courses for technicians and farmers on greenhouse construction and management and new cultivation methods.

A study by the Overseas Development Institute evaluates the benefits of the Malawi Government Agricultural Inputs Subsidy Programme, which was implemented in 2006 2007 to promote access to and use of fertilizers in both maize and tobacco production to increase agricultural productivity and food security.

This recent growth has been fueled by a strong boom in commodity prices, including not only energy inputs such as oil, gas and coal, but also metals, minerals, and agricultural products.

Extensive farming or extensive agriculture (as opposed to intensive farming) is an agricultural production system that uses small inputs of labor, fertilizers, and capital, relative to the land area being farmed.

Emergency and recovery assistance has been programmed, in coordination with United Nations agencies and non governmental organizations, namely, the provision of food supply, seeds and agricultural inputs, for approximately 11,000 families affected.

Such a scheme would also help to bolster gender equality by providing a level playing field for all Afghans in terms of security, social services, infrastructure, credit, and inputs (such as seeds, fertilizers, and agricultural machinery).

At a time when the need for food assistance is particularly high, some governments have withdrawn food subsidies and others have scaled back subsidies for agricultural inputs like seeds, fertilizer, and pesticides, hindering local food production.

While some chemical inputs generate greenhouse gases, some farmers choose alternatives, or specially treated inputs to reduce their emissions.
