Agricultural use of land is growing, and if current and regular agricultural practices are continued,
this will cause an increase in the poverty of farmers in addition to environmental harm. Sustainable agriculture leaves a
smaller footprint on the environment. In addition, farmers, farm workers, consumers, and wildlife benefit from sustainable
agriculture.
- Control of contamination (pesticides, fuel)
so there is less water pollution
- Less soil erosion à implementing planting on
contours, maintaining ground cover
- Important ecosystems such as wetlands are protected
in addition to patches of forest on farmlands
- Profitable for farmers because it promotes safe
employment of workers with better wages, and increased competitiveness and quality of crops through a rise in production
- Encourages a relationship between farmers and
wildlife conservationists to save the world’s biodiversity and prevent irreversible environmental damage
