Sustainable Agriculture - Page 3

Sustainable agriculture is a farming practice that aims to meet current food production needs while preserving environmental health and resources for future generations. It emphasizes the use of techniques that protect the ecosystem, such as crop rotation, agroforestry, organic farming, integrated pest management, and conservation tillage. The goal is to maintain soil fertility, reduce chemical inputs, conserve water, and enhance biodiversity. Sustainable agriculture prioritizes practices that are economically viable for farmers, socially equitable, and environmentally sound, thereby creating a holistic approach to food production that can be maintained over the long term without depleting natural resources or harming the environment.
