Agricultural issues Agricultural surface runoff Water pollution Agricultural wastewater Agricultural wastewater Nonpoint sourcepollution References CRS article Report for Congress Agriculture A Glossary ...Agricultural pollution comprises wastes, emissions, and discharges arising from farming activities. This includes runoff and leaching of pesticide s and fertilizers pesticide drift and volatilization erosion and dust from cultivation and improper disposal of animal manure and carcasses. Some agricultural pollution is pointsource , meaning that it is derived from a single discharge point, such as a pipe. Large feedlots are an example of point sources. In the United States, they require permits under the Clean Water Act P.L. 92 500, 33 U.S.C. 1251 1387 . However, much of the pollution from agriculture is from nonpoint sources, meaning that it derives from dispersed origins, e.g., blowing dust or nutrients leaching from fields. Most pollution control programs have focused on particular categories of point sources, although nonpoint and unregulated point sources account for an increasingly large proportion of remaining pollution. The EPA concludes that agricultural sources account for over one half the pollution impairing surface water quality in the U.S. based on state surveys. The Clean Water Act mandates that states develop and implement management programs to control nonpoint sources of water pollution generally, and the Coastal Zone Management Program requires participating states to develop similar programs for farms within state designated coastal zone s.

In contrast to most pollution control strategies, which seek to manage a pollutant after it is formed and reduce its impact upon the Natural environment environment , the pollution prevention approach seeks to increase the efficiency of a process, thereby reducing the amount of pollution generated at its source. Although there is wide agreement that source reduction is the preferred strategy, some professionals also use the term pollution prevention to include recycling or reuse .
