sustainable-farming
Sustainable farming is an agricultural approach that reduces environmental harm, conserves natural resources, and maintains long-term productivity by working with ecosystem services rather than depleting them. For plant science, this practice is vital because it drives research into plant physiology, nutrient efficiency, natural disease and pest resistance, and crop adaptation to variable environmental conditions. Understanding how plants thrive within sustainable systems informs breeding and biotechnology research aimed at improving both agricultural productivity and environmental resilience.
