Agriculture produces fewer environmental harms through adoption of sustainable farming methods.
-Soil Health benefits from crop rotation and reduced tillage technique alongside cover cropping because these practices help maintain soil structure and reduce erosion and improve water retention. Soil health functions as a carbon capture system which fights against climate change.
-The combination of drip irrigation and water harvesting using rainwater and decreased dependence on synthetic fertilizers allows farmers to preserve essential water resources and decrease water contamination.
Less Chemical Use:
-Monitoring ecosystems through IPM enables biological entities like natural enemies and planting patterns to decrease chemical pesticide usage. The protective measure supports biodiversity protection and reduces water contamination.
-The combinations of precision agriculture and organic farming methods lower manufacturers’ dependency on synthetic fertilizers. Soil quality improves and nutrient runoff gets prevented by this method.
-Introducing trees and shrubs in agricultural systems aids wildlife habitat creation and boosts ecosystem diversity and improves land health while establishing habitats for wildlife.
-Planting many different crops serves to decrease farming reliance on single-crop areas thus minimizing their exposure to harmful predators and health threats.
