In sustainable agriculture we use these practices for save the environment

Crop Rotation:- Crop rotation is the practice of planting different crops sequentially on the same plot of land to improve soil health, optimize nutrients in the soil, and combat pest and weed pressure. In today’s time, if we look at the decrease in agricultural production and productivity, then lack of crop rotation principle is also an important reason for this.

Because not adopting the principle of crop rotation leads to degradation of fertile land, depletion of beneficial microorganisms from the soil, increase in harmful insects, deterioration in the physical and chemical properties of the land.

Organic farming:– Organic agriculture is a production system that maintains the health of soils, ecosystems, and people. It depends on cycles adapted to ecological processes, biodiversity and local conditions, rather than on the use of inputs that have adverse effects. Organic agriculture combines tradition, innovation and science for the benefit of the shared environment and promotes fair relations and good quality of life for all people involved.

Cover crops:- Cover crops are crops planted specifically to improve soil health and fertility, manage weeds, and reduce erosion. These can be grown as a single crop or in combination with other crops and are usually selected based on their specific benefits and soil needs.

Examples of cover crops include legumes, grasses, and broadleaf plants. Planting cover crops can improve soil structure and richness, reduce soil erosion, and increase beneficial microorganisms in the soil, which can benefit subsequent crops.

Vermicompost:- Vermicompost is a type of organic compost made from the waste of worms. It is made by feeding insects organic matter such as food remains, yard waste and paper products. Worms break down the materials into nutrient-rich soil that can be used to improve soil quality in gardens and potted plants. Vermicompost is a sustainable and eco-friendly way of recycling organic waste and improving soil health.

Sustainable Livestock farming:– Sustainable livestock farming is an eco-friendly practice that aims to meet the world’s growing demand for animal products while reducing the negative environmental impact of traditional farming methods.

Sustainable agricultural practices include the adoption of crop rotation, grazing and other feeding methods that promote soil health, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and minimize water consumption. Sustainable farming also promotes animal welfare and ethical and fair labor practices. Sustainable livestock farming is becoming increasingly popular in many parts of the world as consumers become more aware of the impact their food choices have on the environment and animals.

Minimum Tillage:- Min-till or reduced tillage is cultivating land using mechanical methods other than plowing to reduce soil disturbance. This method is growing in popularity and there are new machines designed specifically for min-till farming. It is based on the principle of reducing soil deformability and preserving soil structures, which can improve soil deformability, reduce erosion and increase water infiltration.

Minimum tillage can be achieved through various franchises including crop rotation, management management and conservation tillage technicians.
Minimal tillage can be beneficial for soil health and tillage, but requires soil health and management to be effective.

Bio Diversity:- ‘Biodiversity’ is made up of two words: ‘biological’, which means biology or relating to living organisms, and ‘diversity’, which means a range of different things or variety. Biodiversity is variation at the genetic, species and ecosystem levels. Biodiversity is the diversity of all living things: the different plants, animals and microorganisms, the different genetic information they contain, and the diverse ecosystems they create.

Conclusion:- If we take long term prospective, organic farming is necessary to sustain to life on the mother earth. World Environment Day inspires us not just to think about nature one day, but to be conscious of the environment every day and understand our responsibilities to save it and become responsible citizens.

If every person takes many small steps like planting trees, reducing the use of vehicles, saving water etc. For this, if we move forward and take the responsibility of protecting the environment, then the environment can be protected through these small efforts and this is very important for the coming generations.
