Ecological farming transition involves shifting from conventional agricultural practices to methods that prioritize environmental health, biodiversity, and sustainability. This transition focuses on reducing the use of synthetic chemicals, promoting organic farming, and integrating agroecological principles into farming systems. It involves adopting crop rotations, organic soil amendments, water conservation practices, and reduced tillage methods. Ecological farming aims to restore soil health, protect natural resources, and enhance farm resilience to climate change. By adopting these sustainable practices, farmers can produce healthy, high-quality food while also contributing to the restoration of ecosystems, promoting long-term agricultural viability, and supporting rural communities' livelihoods.
