To carry out sustainable farming, we can do it in different aspects.
1.Avoid using chemicals
We can replace chemical fertilizers by using organic fertilizers,such as dead plants and manure from livestocks, and replace chemical pesticides by growing spring onion and chili on farms.
2.Better use of farmland
-Crop rotation
Different crops use up different nutrients. Farmers can grow different crops each year so that the nutrients will not be used up.
-Mixed farming
Farmers can rear livestock and crop crops on the same piece of farmland.Livestock can provide manure as a nutrients to farmland and enrich the soil.
-Fallowing
Wjhen the farmland isn't in a very good farming condition, famers would leave it to reast to recover the nutrient again. This is called fallowing.
3.Better irrigation
We can use suitable amount of water for irrigation to avoid wasting water and making soil becomes salty.
4.Avoid developing marginal land
The production of marginal land is low,however it makes a seriously affect to our ecosystem so famers sould avoid developing marginal land.
Sustainable farming is based on two principles overall:
1) People have enough food
2) The farming activities will not affect quality of environment in long run.
While these methods are a wonderful goal to aim for, they are impractical to put in place wholesale across the US at this time. The citizens of the US and, indeed, the world as a whole, depend too much on the high yields we currently achieve. In a world with one out of every six people not getting enough food, we can hardly afford to cut yields. As more natural methods improve, and yields increase, they can be phased in without too much effect on the world food supply.
it is more susceptible in angriculture if we apply multi cropping method, through that we can earn money in a separate income depending on your variety of crop you want. Just make it sure that you love what your doing and you have time to spend for it.
agriculture
You can't BUY sustainable agriculture. It's something that is beyond the price of money, you have to want to make agriculture sustainable. It's a value, not an asset.

The motto of Sindh Agriculture University is 'Sustainable Agriculture For Food Security'.
Some examples of appropriate technology: - hybrid cars - solar cookers - green buildings - sustainable agriculture - hydropower - sun thermal power - geothermal power - tidal power
The modern industrial agricultural practices are constantly being modified to become more sustainable. The concept of sustainable agriculture is simply that it creates more benefit for the environment in general than it does harm. A good example of pure sustainable agriculture would be an organic garden which is tended only with hand tools. While this is obviously too small to feed the world's needs, it provides a goal for industrial agriculture.
The benefits of using sustainable agriculture are many. It helps to protect the environment as well as human and animal health. It uses less energy than typical agriculture as well.

Sustainable agriculture is the production of crops by exploiting agricultural resources but without sacrificing the future needs for agricultural resources.Bio intensive gardening minimises the use of resources by not wasting it and therefore falls in the framework of sustainable agriculture.
