Sustainable Agriculture:

Sustainable agriculture is a holistic approach to farming that aims to meet the needs
of present and future generations while preserving environmental quality,
biodiversity, and natural resources. Unlike conventional industrial agriculture, which
relies heavily on chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and monoculture crops, sustainable
agriculture emphasizes practices that promote soil health, water conservation, and
ecosystem resilience. These practices may include crop rotation, organic farming,
agroforestry, integrated pest management, and conservation tillage. Sustainable
agriculture seeks to minimize the environmental impact of farming operations while
maximizing long-term productivity and economic viability for farmers. It recognizes
the interconnectedness of agriculture, the environment, and society, striving for a
more ethical and environmentally friendly food system.
