Sustainable agriculture means farming and grazing in a way that doesn’t work the soil to death, or deforest en masse to make way for croplands. Sometimes it’s as simple as rotating crops on a plot of land to allow the soil a season or two to rest, or switching from chemical fertilizer and pesticide to compost and organic anti-pest solutions.
