What is environmentally sustainable farming?

Consumer Question

Farmers have the great challenge of producing food today while working to protect nature and safeguard biodiversity for generations to come. The survival of a farm depends on the choices farmers make to pass the farm on to future generations so they can feed the future population. To make this dream a reality, farmers must necessarily take care of the land, apply circular economy principles, use natural resources wisely, respect the cycles of the seasons and of nature, and adopt “climate-smart” practices as the climate changes.

What are the advantages of having more smaller farms instead of a few consolidated farms?

Consumer Question

Having multiple, smaller farms is an advantage when it comes to food security. When many farms are spread across different regions, food supply is less affected by unpredictable events like storms, droughts, or disease outbreaks. If farms are smaller and spread out, an event will affect fewer farms and less of a country’s supply, reducing the risk for impact on consumer prices and availability.
