sustainable farm
A sustainable farm is an agricultural system designed to meet current food needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. It focuses on practices that protect the environment, promote biodiversity, and maintain soil health. Sustainable farms often use organic methods, crop rotation, and natural pest control to minimize chemical use and enhance ecosystem balance.
These farms also prioritize animal welfare and may incorporate permaculture principles, which emphasize working with nature rather than against it. By utilizing renewable resources and reducing waste, sustainable farms aim to create a resilient food system that supports local communities and reduces the carbon footprint associated with food production.
