These risks may affect the cost of production mainly due to increased wages for skilled labourers and other inputs. Additionally, subsidies currently provided by the government may cease. However, economic inflation would increase food costs, thereby allowing margins to be maintained.
Natural Challenges
These include natural disasters (storms, fires, drought and floods) along with disease/pests. While the practice of eco-farming mitigates against these effects, additional measures such as the maintenance of fire breaks, irrigation ponds, and spillways, along with using natural pesticides – will be employed as necessary.
