Sustainable agriculture

Students should be able to outline and clarify methods for sustainable agriculture, including the use of organic fertilizers (such as crop residues and manure), managed grazing techniques (like livestock rotation), crop rotation practices, and the implementation of pest-resistant and drought-resistant crop varieties. They should also understand the techniques of trickle drip irrigation and rainwater harvesting. Additionally, students are required to analyze a case study that illustrates a situation where agricultural practices have led to significant environmental damage, such as soil erosion, and discuss strategies for soil conservation.
