Sustainable farming is an approach that allows farms to maintain their productivity indefinitely, without compromising the needs of future generations. It involves integrating practices that do not harm the environment, ensuring long-term agricultural productivity and ecological balance.
Key goals include water conservation, reducing the carbon footprint, maintaining healthy soil, rotating crops to reduce nutrient depletion, ensuring economic profitability, and promoting social and economic equity.
Sustainable farms employ strategies like efficient irrigation techniques, use of drip irrigation, capturing and storing rainwater, and scheduling irrigation based on weather forecasts. These practices ensure optimal water usage without waste.
