There are many proven business benefits in taking climate action and sustainable agriculture practices in action. Sustainability is not an option anymore but a necessity. Businesses understand that today and are taking the steps to grow sustainably. To feed growing population in the future businesses need to ensure sustainability in their sourcing and production practices right from farm level. Agriculture and land for grazing accounts for most land usage of the earth’s land area. Hence, making agriculture sustainable will be the key factor in ensuring that we can fulfill the food security goals. This includes increasing farm productivity, efficient farm production practices, optimizing natural resource usage, and improving livelihoods of farmers to make them self-sustainable.
In a few decades, the global agricultural system will transcend into a system that provides nourishment for the growing population consistently and sustainably produces the food for future-proofing the agriculture industry. KhetiBuddy endeavors to play the role of enabling this transformation which will be driven by sustainable farming practices and biological combined to improve soil health. Soil will play the vital role in leading the world’s agriculture production system towards sustainability while mitigating the risks of climate change with climate tech. KhetiBuddy has focused on aspects of sustainability such as less CO2 equivalent emission per ton of food produced, increasing crop productivity with sustainable agronomy practices, reducing crop loss by ensuring crop protection via use of biological, and empowering farmers to practice climate-smart farming while reducing GHG emissions.
Key Principles of Sustainable Farming are:
Crop rotation and crop diversity are two important strategies for making agriculture sustainable. Crop rotation helps to improve soil fertility and prevent crop loss, while crop diversity helps to manage pests and improve yields. Both of these strategies help to make agriculture more efficient and sustainable. Crop rotation is the practice of growing a variety of different crops in sequence. This helps to improve soil fertility and prevent crop loss. Crop diversity is the practice of growing multiple crops across different cropping seasons. This helps to manage pests and improve yields. Polyculture, or the practice of growing multiple crops in the same field, is another important strategy for making agriculture sustainable. Polyculture helps to improve soil fertility and pest management, which leads to increased yields and fewer crop losses. All of these strategies are important for making agriculture more efficient and sustainable.
Integrated pest management (IPM) is a key sustainable farming method that allows farmers to develop crops in harmony with their environment while making them profitable. IPM takes into account biological methods of plant protection and ensures their integration, in order to control the development of pests while minimizing the use of chemical pesticides. This approach is important because it helps to reduce the negative environmental impacts of agriculture, such as soil degradation and water pollution. Furthermore, IPM can also save farmers money by reducing the need for expensive pesticides. In order to be successful, IPM requires close collaboration between farmers and scientists. By working together, we can develop more efficient and sustainable methods of agriculture that will benefit both the environment and the economy.
Cover crops are a vital part of sustainable agriculture. They are typically planted between two production cultures and help to prevent soil erosion from farming land. Cover crops also improve soil health and quality by increasing biota or biodiversity. This is essential for ensuring sustainability. Cover crops provide numerous other benefits as well, such as reducing weed growth, improving water infiltration, and providing habitat for beneficial insects. Given the importance of cover crops, it is essential that farmers take the time to learn about the best Cover Crops varieties for their needs. They also help in fixation of nitrogen which can help fill the requirement of subsequent crop produced. With proper planning and management, cover crops can play a major role in promoting sustainability and improving agricultural productivity.
Zero-tillage or no-till farming has become one of the most important methods in sustainable and regenerative farming practices. Zero tillage means growing crops without disturbing the soil arrangement. The main benefits of zero tillage are that it reduces soil erosion, increases water infiltration rate, boosts organic matter retention and nutrient cycle. Zero-tillage farming is done by using a no-till drill which pierces the ground and drops the seeds into the holes. The no-till drill leaves the crop residue on the surface which acts as a mulch. Zero tillage farming has many advantages over conventional tillage farming. Zero tillage farming conserves soil moisture, reduces soil compaction, enhances soil fertility and increases crop yields. Zero tillage farming is also beneficial for the environment as it reduces greenhouse gas emissions and improves water quality.
