SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE



Sustainable agriculture/Organic farming…
Increased use of commercial fertilizers has greatly been attributed to the continuous increase in the atmospheric green houses like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide..Now it’s a high time we shifted to organic farming/sustainable farming as organic manure is more advantageous. One, they retain the soils water moisture, they increase the soil humus..they control the soils Ph and doesn’t contribute to the generation of green house emissions..This kind of farming shall help mitigate the negatives effects of climate change.
Also the kind of crops grown have an impact to climate change..Its a high time we shift and focus on mainly legumes as they tend to be drought resistant and improves soil fertility. Crops like sorghum, beans cassava and intercrop them with crops like maize..
