Summary

The contemporary agricultural practices have given rise to several ecological issues, casting doubt on the sustainability of certain farming methods that rely heavily on inputs. Given that the earths resources are finite, it is crucial to use them judiciously and efficiently to achieve a balance between ecology and prosperity. The current priority for farmers, researchers, and policymakers is to pursue sustainable development through sustainable farming systems.
