Farm-based green infrastructure integrates natural systems and green technologies to manage water, reduce pollution, and promote biodiversity on farms. Examples include rainwater harvesting systems, constructed wetlands, and vegetative buffers that filter runoff and improve water quality. Green roofs, living walls, and permeable surfaces can also help mitigate the impact of urbanization on surrounding rural areas. These infrastructures offer multiple benefits, including flood control, enhanced habitat for wildlife, and increased farm resilience to extreme weather events. By adopting farm-based green infrastructure, farmers not only improve environmental outcomes but also enhance the long-term productivity and sustainability of their agricultural operations.
