PRINCIPLES OF Conservation Agriculture (CA). 1. Minimum soil disturbance: This is where the crops are grown with minimum soil disturbance. Mulching can be done to keep the soil covered. *It's advantages include; - Protects soil from wind and water erosion. - Improves soil organic matter. etc.

One key aspect of SDG 12 is promoting sustainable agriculture practices. Sustainable agriculture practices contribute to responsible resource use and environmental conservation. Organic farming, crop rotation, and agroforestry help maintain soil health, reduce harmful chemicals, and preserve biodiversity. These practices benefit the environment and promote more efficient production systems, ensuring long-term food security and economic sustainability. #sdg12 #unitednations #sustainableagriculture #croprotation #environmentalsustainability #efficiency #agricultureandfarming #soilhealth #tuesdaytip #notoretribe #notore

Agricultural biodiversity involves diversifying crops, utilizing biofertilizers, and fostering beneficial insects to create a resilient farming ecosystem. This approach enhances soil health, reduces chemical reliance, and supports natural pollinators and pest control. By integrating practices like cover cropping and conservation tillage, we not only protect our soil but also ensure sustainable and productive agriculture. Join us in nurturing diversity to reap its abundant benefits. #PlentiFarms #Agriculture #Biodiversity

In the face of climate change affecting soil quality, Arya.ag takes strides in soil and water conservation. Utilizing our tech innovation, #Prakshep, we identify precise soil moisture levels in water-stressed areas, guiding farmers to judiciously manage water resources. Our agronomy workshops further extend our commitment to soil health management and conservation. These sessions are aimed at informing, educating, and empowering Community Value Resource Persons (CVRPs). Through such initiatives, Arya.ag contributes towards improving soil health and disseminates climate-smart agricultural practices; creating awareness and resilience across the agricultural value chain. #WorldSoilDay #ClimateSmartAgriculture #Sustainability

Soil health is critical to sustainable agriculture, affecting everything from crop yields to environmental resilience. A healthy soil ecosystem is rich in biodiversity and organic matter, provides essential nutrients for plants and mitigates problems such as erosion and pollution.

Bee populations have plummeted, and here’s why it matters: pollination is a pillar of our food chain without which our food systems would collapse. In honor of World Bee Day, we urge crop growers to commit to adopting practices that reduce toxic pesticides that endanger bees. #WorldBeeDay #SustainableAgriculture #Pollinators
