Importance of Sustainability In Farming Practices
Introduction
People have always strived to create a self sufficient and a balanced agricultural ecosystem that embraces devise plant and animal population. Throughout ranches and farms people are becoming mindful of sustainable agricultural practices that support flora and fauna. This research paper looks at the various ways of maintaining good farming practices, methods and the impacts of sustainable farming practices. Thus it examines suitable farming practices that are provide yields without undermining the natural ecosystems and resources that productivity depends on.
Body
First to achieve sustainable farming farmers can use;
1) Crop rotation- which involves growing different crops in succession in the same field.
i) This avoids unintended consequence of putting the same plants in the same soil years after years
ii) Improves yields and produces robust crops that are less vulnerable to pest
iii) Maintains soil quality
2) Soil enrichments
i) Enriching soils improve yields and produce robust crops less vulnerable to pests
ii) Reduces the use of inorganic fertilizers which can have negative effect on soils
iii) Maintains soil quality
3) The use of bio-intensive integrated pest management to control pest and diseases. This method relies on biological rather chemical measures hence it encourages sustainability.
Conclusion
In conclusion sustainable farming practices helps to meet society’s food and textile needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Through sustainable farming ways such as crop rotation, soil enrichments and the use of bio-intensive pest management the society can achieve health and economic profitability without putting the next generation at risk.
