Sustainable farming techniques

After decades of research and practice, some agricultural and horticultural techniques have been known for sustainable agriculture, which we will discuss below:

Movement of plants and formation of plant diversity; Cultivating diverse plants has many benefits, for example, it has a special effect on maintaining soil health and preventing pests. To grow different plants, you can use the method of annual plant transfer or grow different types of plants in one bed.

Planting cover plants and marigolds; In the stagnant seasons when the soil is bare and devoid of plants, you can cover the soil by planting cover plants such as clover and buckwheat, or keep the soil alive all year round by planting perennials. Such plants protect the soil structure and prevent its erosion.

reduced plowing; Plowing can cause soil loss, so it is better to plant seeds in unplowed soil to prevent erosion.

combination of animals and plants; In industrial agriculture, animals are usually separated from plants, if plants are suitable food for animals and animals produce enough natural fertilizer for plants. Many researches have proven that the intelligent combination of animals and plants can greatly contribute to the profitability of farms and gardens.

planting trees; By combining trees and bushes, you can protect plants, animals and water sources by forming a shadow.

use of intact systems and areas; Sustainable agriculture uses undisturbed or less disturbed areas. For example, farming in areas close to rivers that have natural vegetation can control soil erosion and prevent nutrients from settling.
