In
order to counteract the effects of unsustainable agriculture, the economy needs
to focus on resource management and methods that increase productivity without
damaging the environment. One of the most effective ways to manage sustainable
agriculture is by using conservation agriculture or community-supported
agriculture. Governments have begun to provide monetary incentives to farmers
so that they switch their farming methods; these government regulations are
required to ensure that the economy can run properly while maintaining a sustainable
amount of resources.
Conservation agriculture is simply
farming using methods such as no-till farming, terracing, crop rotation, and
other methods to restore nutrients to the soil and increase productivity.
Community-supported agriculture is an effective method of resource conservation
because members of the community pre-purchase produce from local farmers so
that farmers are ensured that they will receive payment for their services.
Community-supported agriculture promotes sustainable agriculture since local
farmers are the ones providing the goods and services, and buying from the
community supports local economies.
