INNOVATIVE PRACTICES IN SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE: THE ROLE OF PRECISION FARMING AND REGENERATIVE TECHNIQUES IN REDUCING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Keywords:
Sustainable Agriculture, Precision Farming, Regenerative Agriculture, Agroforestry, Soil Fertility, Carbon EmissionsAbstract
Sustainable agriculture has emerged as a critical solution to meet the growing global food demand while mitigating environmental impacts. This research paper explores innovative practices in sustainable agriculture, focusing on precision farming and regenerative techniques. Precision farming leverages technologies like GPS, remote sensing, and data analytics to optimize resource use and reduce environmental degradation. Regenerative agriculture, on the other hand, emphasizes soil health, biodiversity, and ecological resilience through practices such as crop rotation, agroforestry, and cover cropping. By integrating both approaches, sustainable agriculture can significantly reduce carbon emissions, improve soil fertility, and enhance biodiversity. Case studies from various regions demonstrate the success of these methods, underscoring their potential to transform agricultural practices worldwide. The paper concludes with a discussion of the challenges and future directions for sustainable agriculture.
