Cheat sheet: Seven top sustainable agri practices

(i) Crop rotation: Alternating crops in a specific sequence on the same plot of land helps maintain soil fertility, prevent pest buildup and reduce the need for chemical inputs.

(ii) Cover cropping: Planting crops like legumes during fallow periods helps prevent soil erosion, adds organic matter, and suppresses weeds.

(iii) Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Using a mix of biological controls, cultural practices and minimal pesticides to reduce reliance on harmful chemicals.
