Abstract

The current research aimed at addressing
the trends, challenges, and opportunities in
agricultural economics. The constant development in
agricultural economics warrants a better
understanding of such changes to help with effective
decision-making in agriculture. Consecutively, a review
of literature has enabled the research to identify three
trends; organic farming, agroforestry, and climatesmart agriculture. The research used secondary data
and primary data when conducting the thematic
analysis. The findings from the analysis revealed that
opportunities such as consumer demand, profitability,
and government subsidies motivated the farmers into
undertaking sustainable practices. Meanwhile, the
challenges such as time constraints, farm size, and
access to equipment and expert skills acted as barriers
that prevented the farmers from adopting sustainable
practices.
