Discuss various types of farming/ cropping which can be helpful in sustainable agriculture?
Answers
In this generation we can see many new techniques for cropping which can help for sustainable development. Farmers can adopt the method of mixed cropping. By this farmers can obtain 2 different varieties of crop. Mixed cropping also helps to maintain nitrogen balance in the soil. Farmers can use new irrigation systems like drip or sprinkler type. This helps in conservation and prevents wastage of water.
Sustainable farming is a type of farming which uses natural resources for agriculture.
The new and mechanized methods in agriculture increase the productivity but it also exploits the soil nature very quickly.
So, sustainable farming is introduced which is eco-friendly with low production compared to modern agriculture.
There is no specific type of farming or cropping system.
The sustainable agriculture is followed in all type of lands.
