Farmers have the great challenge of producing food today while working to protect nature and safeguard biodiversity for generations to come. The survival of a farm depends on the choices farmers make to pass the farm on to future generations so they can feed the future population. To make this dream a reality, farmers must necessarily take care of the land, apply circular economy principles, use natural resources wisely, respect the cycles of the seasons and of nature, and adopt “climate-smart” practices as the climate changes.
Many different farming and cropping practices, complemented by science and technology, can contribute to this goal and increase a farm’s resilience to various consequences of climate change. Geo-climatic conditions will also influence the choices farmers make. You can read more about a list of activities and practices that can help sustain farms on the Sustainability page.
