The importance of conservative Agriculture in a climate changing environment

Greetings fellow steemians I hope we all are doing Great. It will be a pleasure for me today to share with you the benefits of practicing a sustainable and conservative agricultural technique in times like this when our climate is fast changing and influencing food production.
This kind of agriculture entails the preservation of the soil capacity interms of it's biomass, nutrient cycle and productiivity.

Most farmers this days do not understand that there is a greater need to preserve and conserve the soil while they continue to utilize it and are exploiting nutrients day in day out without rebuilding Thier threshold. The too much dependency on synthetic fertilizers and chemicals to keep the soil in tact are not sustainable and end up killing the soil biomass and exposing it to degradation. The common practices like ankara burning, overtillage, mono croping and mechanized Agriculture are not conservative when it comes to protecting soil structure and preventing degradation.

Cultivating in flat sloppy sufaces with limited or no tillage.
In this practice , there is limited or no tillage practiced to limit the amount of soil loose in erosion, mulching and cover cropping are used to reduced rate of erosion and control weeds while at the same time reducing rate of evapo transpiration of soil water.

Thus keeping the soils wet for longer periods even if droughts were to be experience, protecting and growing much soil biomass to aid nutrient stabilization and encouraging a trending biodiversity within and without the farm as little or no destruction of the vegetation is carried out.

Planting leguminous trees like Tephrosia , crotolaria and Sesbania help keep the soils ballance in nutrient content.

Farm trees that shade of their leaves or that are pruned off do provide enough green or dry plant recidues that are either composted into manure, fed to animals as fodder or use as mulch to reduced soil erosion, water lost and weed control. Plant recidues are not thrown off the farm but are rather spread over the farm as the decomposition process attracts more soil organisms to keep your farm alive. Agroforestry systems like alley cropping and the cut and carry fodder technics can best be good to ensure conservative and beneficial Agriculture if considered. I believe that if 5 out of 10 farmers can practice this in their feilds it will go along way to preserve their soils for future generations without compromising their ability to use it now. Thanks so much for stopping by to read.
