Sustainable Farming

Sustainable farming, also known as sustainable agriculture, refers to agricultural practices that prioritize environmental health, economic viability, and social equity. The goal of sustainable farming is to produce food, fiber, and other agricultural products in a way that meets current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This approach emphasizes practices that conserve resources, enhance soil fertility, reduce chemical inputs, promote biodiversity, and utilize renewable resources. Techniques may include crop rotation, organic farming, agroforestry, integrated pest management, and water conservation methods. Sustainable farming seeks to create a resilient agricultural system that supports local economies and communities while minimizing negative impacts on the environment.
