Economics of Food and Agriculture
An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a systematic process used to evaluate the potential environmental effects of a proposed project or development before it is approved. This assessment not only considers the direct and indirect impacts on the environment, including air, water, and biodiversity but also addresses social and economic factors. It plays a crucial role in decision-making by providing relevant information to stakeholders and ensuring that sustainable practices are integrated into agriculture and biotechnology projects.
