Sustainable Agriculture Process & benefits in India

Crop rotation is a sustainable agricultural technique that combats pest problems, replenishes soil nutrients and reduces the need for chemical fertilizers by planting different crops.

Permaculture is a smart farming food production system emphasizing efficiency and sustainability through various design techniques such as no-till grain cultivation, mandala gardens, and multi-purpose plant use.

Planting cover crops can help farmers prevent soil erosion, enhance soil quality, suppress weed growth, and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers.

Maintaining and enhancing soil quality can be achieved by releasing crop residues after harvest and using composted plant material or animal manure.

Viewing the farm as an ecosystem and promoting natural predators of pests can effectively control pests, avoiding indiscriminate killing through chemical insecticides.

Polyculture farming involves growing multiple crop species in one region, complementing each other to increase biodiversity, sustainability, and flexibility to seasonal fluctuations.
