## What is sustainable agriculture?

For the farmers to be able to integrates future to the present and not just get eager for their economic well being alone to the possible expense of the future farmers. Due to such it become necessary for farmers to practice Sustainable Agriculture : which is more about the present farmers to consider those available factors ,that would enhance them to manage and protect the soil, and natural environment successfully with no deviation, so as to maintain the unique texture and structure for future farmers use.

Agroforestry is very crucial in agro business world because it actually blend diversification, which further come along so many benefits and contribute quite enormously to sustainability in agriculture. The following is how agroforestry contribute to sustainability : * Agroforestry directly blend both trees , livestocks and crop plants together * Agroforestry directly effect climate change * Agroforestry directly impacts on food security * Agroforestry directly enhance soil health and nutrient and reduce activity of soil erosion Agroforestry further directly contribute to sustainability in agriculture by trapping carbon dioxide from the atmosphere down to the soil for both trees and crop plants use and it also very well promote biodiversity.

>"What are the benefits of using organic farming methods?"

Organic farming should be the best option in terms of farming recommendation for intending and potential farmers as , it does come along with lot of benefits. For me when talking about sustainable agriculture organic farming should be way forward among others like agroforestry and so. Because when count the benefits: To begins with soil protection , soil preservation and nutrients management are main benefits and reason for practicing organic farming methods. Moreso , another benefits of using organic farming methods , here should be on such ground that it would be an opportunity for small farmers to launch in . And it also reduce cost of applying synthetic input on crop plants.

>"Explain the role of crop diversity in sustainable farming ?" ![ai-generated-8570267_1280.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWpZCAZ2LAQLBCDfF5PS9YTVYBExZ7rWxaJMSAV8eLZ26/ai-generated-8570267_1280.jpg) [Source]( https://pixabay.com/illustrations/ai-generated-people-faces-inclusion-8570267/)

Crop diversity has various role in sustainable farming for the farmers. Since crop diversity has to do with cultivating verity of crop plants within a particular farming portion. Based on such system of having crop plants variable in the farming portion , there would be : * Increase in agricultural produce * Increase in farmers income * Providing variable job opportunity ### increase in agricultural produce Due to cultivating verity or diverse crop plants there also exist edible produce of same kind bringing about an increase in aggregate agricultural produce, for the farmers concerned. ### Increase in farmers income When a given farmer plants different crop plants within a farm and have them yield , and when fortunately harvest them , and sell them the expected farmer's income for the farming produce would be increase leading to increase in farmer's income. Moreso those harvested crops is capable of passing back nutrients to the soil promoting both quality and healthy soil. ### Job opportunities As direct result from crop diversity and farmers implementation and yielding success, which is capable of producing more varies agricultural produce , that would also facilitate variable job or employment opportunity for various farmers produce seller's.
