Sustainable Farming

Sustainable farming grows food in ways that protect soil, water and wildlife for the future. It can include crop rotation, using less water and reducing chemical use.

Crop rotation keeps soil healthy by changing which crops grow in each field.

Farmers may rotate crops so that the soil keeps its goodness, plant hedges for birds and insects, and use less water and fewer harmful chemicals.

Sustainable farming also reduces waste and uses renewable energy where possible. When farms look after the land, they can keep producing food for many years to come.
