What is Sustainable Agriculture
Sustainable agriculture is defined as meeting our current needs, without negatively affecting the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
It is focused on driving farming efficiencies while maintaining the health of soil and water resources, supporting biodiversity, reducing emissions and building resilience to climate change.
For more than two decades, South West NRM has been developing case studies and other resources to demonstrate how farmers can improve efficiencies and sustainability.
