sustainable agriculture
Future-minded food production
Sustainable agriculture is farming practice designed to meet current food needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.
It emphasizes soil health, water conservation, reduced chemical inputs, and ecological balance: The farm transitioned to sustainable agriculture after years of conventional methods.
The term contrasts with industrial agriculture, which prioritizes short-term yields over long-term environmental stewardship.
