Advantages and Disadvantages to Sustainable Agriculture:

There are many advantages to practicing a more agricultural sustainable lifestyle.

One advantage of sustainable agriculture is eliminating typical farming practices which often takes up large amounts of fertile land through a single crop approach. This typical form of farming is an example of unsustainable agricultural practices. This oftentimes ruins landscapes and requires farmers to spend an unnecessary amount of money on acquiring more land. Through sustainable farming practices, single-crop agriculture is eliminated by placing multiple crops on the same plot of land by combining tall, sun-loving plants with shorter shade-loving plants. This approach enables farmers to grow more crops using less land while also preserving the environment. Although with this approach, one of the biggest disadvantages to sustainable agriculture is that you are unable to grow as many crops at a single time considering a more sustainable approach typically leads to fewer crops in one plot so plants don’t leach nutrients out of the soil. For farmers who want to continue to produce mass agriculture, sustainable farming practices are often hard to abide by.

Another advantage of sustainable agriculture

is eliminating cruelty behind factory farming by decreasing the brutal treatment of farm animals. Before the wave of sustainable agriculture, typical farming practices consisted of packing large quantities of animals into tiny cages in order to preserve farm space. This practice not only contributes to the horrific mistreatment of animals but also contributes to the spreading of diseases, which oftentimes results in infections and deaths within the farms. Sustainable agriculture creates a humane environment for farm animals by limiting the quantities of animals per farm while also implementing a healthy plant-based diet with sufficient room for animals to roam.

Lastly, sustainable agriculture has the ability to significantly reduce water pollution by eliminating harmful fertilizers that seep into run-off water and ruin the natural environment. Methane production pollution is a potent greenhouse gas that is harmful to the earth’s water and atmosphere. Unfortunately, most of this methane comes from the practice of industrial cattle farming. Through sustainable agricultural practices of crop rotation, the use of natural fertilizer and minimizing animals per farm pollution can be significantly reduced. This reduction not only benefits air quality, but it preserves the earth's natural resources that could be greatly harmed through methane.

The Importance of Sustainable Agriculture:

Earth’s population is rapidly expanding and with that expansion comes the need for more resources. According to Huffpost, “the global population is going to reach 9 billion people by 2050 with the need for food production to increase by 70% to meet the demands of a booming population.” Today, more than one billion people around the world will depend on farming for their means of income. Although farming is essential for the production of human food, the expansion of the earth’s population has become a growing concern for the possibilities of producing that much food with limited natural resources left.

What is Sustainable Agriculture:

Sustainable agriculture is designed with the intention of preserving the environment, expanding the earth’s natural resources, all while creating a quality of life for animals and humans. Sustainable agricultural allows for the desires of society’s food and textile needs to be met without the fear of inhibiting the earth’s natural resources for future generations. In addition to preserving the earth's natural resources, sustainable agriculture benefits the environment through helping maintain soil quality, reducing erosion, and preserving water. In order to maintain a sustainable lifestyle, agriculturalists focus on certain criteria in order to compete with current sustainability practices. This criteria consists of creating a healthy environment, while ensuring economic profitability in addition to maintaining social and economic equity. Every member of the food system can manage a sustainable lifestyle through remaining consistent within this criterion.

The top five actions for biodiversity are as follows:

Use your political power – change the system. Ask your local and national political representatives what action they are taking to protect biodiversity. Are they implementing government commitments like ‘30 by 30’ and other sustainability policies and legislation?

Use your consumer power – review your supply chain. Put pressure on businesses, corporations and industries to create sustainable products and support a circular economy and shop sustainably. Where does your food, water, consumables, raw materials and energy come from? Can you find a better, more sustainable solution?

Innovate – be creative in our personal and professional lives. Nature works in cycles where nothing is wasted. Find new ways of reducing waste, recycling and recovering materials and reinventing the systems and processes that we use every day.
Advocate, communicate and collaborate – talk and listen to other people about biodiversity issues. We can also influence by our actions so hold or participate in an event or create a biodiversity area at home or in your community. Share information and influence online. Support organisations that conserve and protect nature.

Reconnect - take time out to relax, observe and enjoy nature. We have a long journey ahead to a more sustainable future. Be kind to yourself and others along the way. Appreciate nature where you find it because, ultimately, we protect the things we love.

We have entered a new geological age, the Anthropocene, defined by human impact on the Earth. Humans are part of nature and we depend on it for our survival: our oxygen, water, food, our health, and many other benefits cannot be replaced if we lose them.
The dual crises of climate change and biodiversity loss are daunting, but this story is still being written. We have an opportunity to work together and build a more sustainable and equitable world.
The world has seen the Agricultural Revolution and the Industrial Revolution in the past, both of which changed the course of human history. This is the time for a Sustainability Revolution. The systemic change needed requires strong leadership, long-term vision and meaningful action from governments, corporations, organisations, industries, communities and individuals.
Eco-anxiety is now a common term and unfortunately, it is familiar to many. We can help alleviate anxiety by taking action and using our personal power. Many small actions can create transformative change.

Get Active for Biodiversity

We may feel like our individual actions are small but there is power in numbers and we should not underestimate our collective ability to get work done and create change.

Practical local actions like taking part in organised clean-ups or environmental events can make a real difference on the ground and help raise awareness within your community. There are many local and international organisations that are involved in environmental and sustainable action that are always in need of volunteers and support.

The more we research and share information with others, the more we build up our knowledge of sustainable products, services, resources and organisations, and we help build sustainable communities on the ground. Progress may be slow, but the direction of travel is important.
