Sustainable agriculture refers to a farming practice that aims to meet the needs of present and future generations while minimizing negative impacts on the environment. It involves using methods that conserve soil, water, and other natural resources, as well as promoting biodiversity and protecting the health of farm workers.
Organic Farming: Organic farming is a type of sustainable agriculture that avoids synthetic pesticides and fertilizers while focusing on soil health and biodiversity.
Crop Rotation: Crop rotation is a sustainable agricultural practice where different crops are planted in sequence on the same field over time. This helps prevent soil erosion, nutrient depletion, and pest outbreaks.
Agroforestry: Agroforestry combines trees or shrubs with crops or livestock in an integrated system. It promotes sustainability by providing multiple benefits such as improved soil fertility, increased biodiversity, and climate change mitigation.
