Abstract

Sustainable farming plays an important role in modern agriculture and offers a solution to the problems caused by the way most of our food is grown today. Today’s industrial farming methods, many stemming from the Green Revolution of the 1950s and 1960s, are depleting our natural resources through monocultures and the overuse of pesticides and fertilizers, among other practices, while leaving people with unequal access to food and nutrition around the world.
