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.
