Sustainable Farming

📋 What it is

Sustainable farming grows food while protecting soil, water and nature for future generations.

🗣️ Coach says

Farming can either use land UP or keep it healthy forever. SUSTAINABLE farming does the latter — protecting soil (rotation, cover crops), saving water, welcoming pollinators and wildlife, and cutting waste and pollution. It balances producing food now with keeping the land productive for the future.

🧠 Memory hook

Sustainable farming = grow food + protect soil/water/wildlife for the future. Balance now vs later.

😲 Whoa!

Planting flower strips beside crops brings in bees and helpful bugs that pollinate and eat pests — a tiny wildflower border can boost a whole field’s harvest.
