Crop Rotation: Alternating the types of crops grown in a particular field over time helps to replenish soil nutrients, control pests and diseases, and improve soil structure. Different crops have varying nutrient requirements and root structures, so rotating them can prevent soil depletion and maintain fertility.

Cover Cropping: Planting cover crops, such as legumes or grasses, during fallow periods or between cash crops helps to prevent erosion, suppress weeds, improve soil health, and add organic matter to the soil. Cover crops also enhance biodiversity and provide habitat for beneficial insects.

Agroforestry: Integrating trees and shrubs into agricultural landscapes offers multiple benefits, including improved soil health, enhanced biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and additional sources of income through timber, fruit, or nut production. Agroforestry systems can include alley cropping, silvopasture, and windbreaks.

Water Conservation and Management: Sustainable agriculture practices aim to minimize water usage through efficient irrigation methods, such as drip irrigation or precision watering systems, and by implementing strategies to capture and retain rainwater, such as rainwater harvesting and contour farming. Soil conservation techniques also help to reduce water runoff and soil erosion.

Organic Farming: Organic farming relies on natural inputs and processes to maintain soil fertility, control pests and diseases, and produce crops. Prohibiting the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), organic farming promotes biodiversity, soil health, and environmental sustainability.
