Ecosystem service farming integrates natural processes to enhance agricultural productivity while preserving environmental health. By leveraging ecosystem services like pollination, water filtration, soil fertility, and pest control, this approach ensures that farms remain both productive and ecologically balanced. Practices such as agroforestry, conservation tillage, and creating wildlife corridors support biodiversity and help maintain ecosystem functions on farmlands. In turn, this reduces the need for chemical inputs, improves resilience against pests and diseases, and restores water cycles. Ecosystem service farming is a holistic method that not only boosts yields but also promotes environmental sustainability, ensuring that agricultural landscapes provide benefits for generations to come.
