In agriculture, sustainability may be a complex idea with many facets, the social (it should deal fairly with its workers and have a interdependent relationship with the encompassing community), and the environmental.Environmental sustainability in agriculture means good stewardship of the natural systems and resources that farms believe . Among other things, this involves:Building and maintaining healthy soil,Managing water wisely,Minimizing air, water, and climate pollution, Promoting biodiversity.There’s a whole field of research devoted to achieving these goals: agroecology, the science of managing farms as ecosystems. By working with nature instead of against it, farms managed using agroecological principles can avoid damaging impacts without sacrificing productivity or profitability. Rotating crops and embracing diversity. Planting a spread of crops can have many benefits, including healthier soil and improved pest control. Crop diversity practices include intercropping (growing a mixture of crops within the same area) and sophisticated multi-year crop rotations. Planting cover crops. Cover crops, like clover or hairy tare , are planted during off-season times when soils might rather be left bare. These crops protect and build soil health by preventing erosion, replenishing soil nutrients, and keeping weeds in restraint , reducing the necessity for herbicides. Reducing or eliminating tillage. Traditional plowing (tillage) prepares fields for planting and prevents weed problems, but can cause tons of soil loss. No-till or reduced till methods, which involve inserting seeds directly into undisturbed soil, can reduce erosion and improve soil health.
