The commercialization of mines discovered in agricultural lands poses significant challenges that require careful management and regulatory oversight. Balancing the economic benefits of mining with the need to preserve agricultural productivity is essential for ensuring food security and sustainable development in affected regions. Stakeholder engagement and robust policy frameworks are vital for addressing the competing interests of mining and agriculture effectively. A suitable research method for studying the commercialization of mines discovered in agricultural lands is qualitative methods research. Conduct structured surveys among local farmers and mining companies to gather studies on land use changes, economic impacts, and food security issues. This can help quantify the extent of land conversion from agriculture to mining and its effects on local livelihoods. The commercialization of mines on agricultural lands offers opportunities and challenges. The merging of mining and agriculture can lead to new land-use strategies that boost local economies and address food security issues.
