Ecological Agro-ecosystem Sustainable Development in Relationship to Other Sectors in the Economic System, and Human Ecological Footprint and Imprint

---

Sustainable agriculture is the major economic sector (i.e. about 30% of Global economy) with the industrial and trading system in the world’s economy. It is important to understand why the sustainable development is very important to the point of improving of human life and reducing the poverty. Additionally, we need to sustain our natural resources to be replenished and continue support our human population growth that is continued to increase in alarming rate rather than development, view ofwhich is in a slow rate that does not meet the demands.
This paper is to discuss the importance of global agro-ecosystems, to support humans’ needs for feeding and continue their lives in a healthy and sustainable life and to function within the society. In addition, the paper will show the availability of the agriculture natural resources in terms of global ecological biological capacities in hectares and the trends in using these resources in terms of an ecological footprint in hectares. Additionally, we study the term of ecological human imprint in relation to the agro-ecosystem as suggested by Shakir Hanna et al; 2014. Further the paper will address the impacts of agro-ecosystem on global economy and, further discuss the impacts of human technological advances on agro-ecosystems ecologically, economically, and social importance.
Our results show that the global population will be 10.50 billion people in 2050 (i.e. 1.1% the current population growth). The available global cropped land is 2.36 billion global hectares in 2008.The question is the Earth able to provide food and other agricultural products to support the healthy living of all human beings in year 2050 at the current growth rate? The paper is discussing these concerns.

Keywords: Ecological Footprint, Global Crop Model (GCM), Human Population Growth, Value Added of Global Agriculture Systems,Maintenance Index of Cropping System.
