Revolutionizing Indian Agriculture: Conservation Agriculture Saves Water and Improves Soil Quality
Conservation agriculture is a method to protect soil and water while growing crops. By reducing tillage, using crop rotation, and adding mulch, farmers can improve soil health and crop growth. Studies have shown that using conservation agriculture can lower the cost of wheat production, reduce CO2 emissions, and save water. It also helps to prevent soil erosion and improve soil fertility. This approach can be a part of climate-smart farming, helping to combat climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing carbon storage in the soil.
