Sustainable Agriculture

Sustainable Agriculture refers to farming practices that maintain the health of the environment, economy, and communities over the long term. It emphasizes the need to produce food, fiber, and other products while minimizing negative impacts on the natural ecosystem. This approach seeks to balance the demand for agricultural products with the conservation of resources, promoting practices that are economically viable, socially responsible, and environmentally sound. Sustainable agriculture often includes techniques such as crop rotation, organic farming, agroecology, and integrated pest management, which aim to increase soil fertility, reduce chemical inputs, and enhance biodiversity. The goal is to create a resilient agricultural system that can meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
