Sustainable agriculture is an approach to farming that seeks to protect the environment, conserve natural resources, and promote the health and well-being of farmers, workers, and consumers. It is based on principles of ecology, economics, and social justice, and is designed to produce food and other products in a way that is ecologically sound, economically viable, and socially responsible. Sustainable agriculture practices include crop rotation, cover cropping, integrated pest management, and conservation tillage. These practices help to reduce soil erosion, conserve water, and reduce the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Sustainable agriculture also seeks to improve the quality of life for farmers and workers by providing safe working conditions, fair wages, and access to health care and education. Companies in the sustainable agriculture market include Monsanto, Syngenta, DuPont, BASF, and Bayer. Other companies include Agri-Tech Producers, Agroecology Solutions, and Agro-Organic Solutions.
