Sustainable Agriculture

Sustainable Agriculture refers to farming practices that prioritize environmental health, economic profitability, and social equity to meet current food and fiber needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own. It emphasizes methods that protect natural resources such as soil, water, and biodiversity, while minimizing the use of harmful chemicals and fossil fuels. Sustainable agriculture aims to maintain ecological balance, enhance soil fertility, reduce pollution, and promote the welfare of farming communities. Key practices include crop rotation, agroforestry, integrated pest management, organic farming, and conservation tillage. By focusing on these principles, sustainable agriculture seeks to create a resilient food system that supports both farmers and the ecosystem.
