Sustainable Farming

Sustainable farming, also known as sustainable agriculture, refers to agricultural practices that aim to meet current food needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It emphasizes environmentally friendly methods, economic viability, and social equity. Sustainable farming integrates practices that maintain the health of farming ecosystems, such as crop rotation, agroforestry, organic farming, and conservation tillage. It seeks to minimize the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, conserve water, enhance soil fertility, and promote biodiversity. The ultimate goal is to create a resilient agricultural system that supports both the environment and the livelihoods of farmers while providing safe and nutritious food for communities.
