Sustainable land-management practices such as conservation tillage, cover cropping, and crop rotation can improve soil health by reducing erosion, increasing organic matter, and enhancing soil structure. These practices increase soil fertility, improve water infiltration, and reduce soil degradation. Soil management is sustainable if the supporting, provisioning, regulating, and cultural services provided by soil are maintained or enhanced without significantly impairing either the soil functions that enable those services or biodiversity. Eat sustainable foodstuffs, properly recycle batteries, produce homemade compost and dispose of drugs in the places authorized for this purpose. Encourage a more eco-friendly model for industry, farming and stock breeding, among other economic activities. Farming practices that increase soil biodiversity include sustainably managing soil water and nutrients, controlling erosion, and maintaining ground cover. One such method is agro forestry, which involves planting trees alongside crops. Biodiversity ensures food security by protecting agricultural production from various threats, such as pathogenic outbreaks, extreme climate, etc. Additionally, biodiversity enhances food production considerably by promoting crop pollination. Greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced by making power on-site with renewable and other climate-friendly energy resources. Examples include rooftop solar panels, solar water heating, and small-scale wind generation, fuel cells powered by natural gas or renewable hydrogen, and geothermal energy.

I address this question in my book Fifty Years of Biodynamic Farming: Essays From the Field, available on Researchgate.

Hey Sudip Ghimire!

Sustainable land management practices can be used to improve soil health, increase biodiversity, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by implementing the following strategies:

Conservation tillage: This involves minimizing soil disturbance during planting and cultivation, which helps to reduce erosion and improve soil structure. This practice also helps to increase soil organic matter, which can improve soil fertility and carbon sequestration.

Crop rotation: This involves alternating crops on a field over time, which helps to reduce pests and diseases, improve soil structure, and increase soil organic matter. This practice also helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.

Cover cropping: This involves planting a crop specifically for the purpose of improving soil health, such as nitrogen fixation or erosion control. Cover crops help to improve soil structure, increase soil organic matter, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by sequestering carbon in the soil.

Agroforestry: This involves integrating trees into agricultural landscapes, which helps to improve soil health, increase biodiversity, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Trees help to stabilize soils, improve water retention, and provide habitat for wildlife.

Integrated pest management: This involves using a combination of cultural, biological, and chemical methods to manage pests and diseases. This practice helps to reduce the use of synthetic pesticides, which can harm beneficial insects and pollinators.

By implementing these sustainable land management practices, farmers and land managers can improve soil health, increase biodiversity, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These practices can also help to increase crop yields and improve the resilience of agricultural systems to climate change.

In addition to answers already provided, the practice of "regenerative" farming or agriculture should be examined when considering best practices with livestock management.

I agree with Ali Younes, Albert K Smith and Henning Sehmsdorf that first and foremost, sustainable development means preserving the vital functions of the environment, including the potential for change, evolution and self-regulation. Biodiversity is meant to be all-inclusive; it is the genetic-based variation of living organisms at all levels. To use biodiversity in a sustainable manner means to use natural resources at a rate that the Earth can renew them. It's a way to ensure that we meet the needs of both present and future generations. As the human population increases, so does the pressure on ecosystems, since we draw ever more resources from them. Numerous individuals depend on food gathered from ecosystems such as rivers, grasslands, forests, etc. Biodiversity ensures food security by protecting agricultural production from various threats, such as pathogenic outbreaks, extreme climate, etc. Increasing species diversity can influence ecosystem functions such as productivity by increasing the likelihood that species will use complementary resources and can also increase the likelihood that a particularly productive or efficient species is present in the community.Biodiversity provides ecological life support. It actively supports functioning ecosystems that provide oxygen, pest control, plant pollination, clean air and water, wastewater treatment and a variety of other ecosystem services. Diversity improve productivity and efficiency, support better decision-making, and make it easier to adopt structural and operational changes that benefit people, the planet, and their bottom line. Reduce, reuse, and recycle are the core principles of wise resource use. Deploying these principals preserves and protects natural resources by reducing landfill waste, energy consumption, and pollution. Sustainable land-management practices such as conservation tillage, cover cropping, and crop rotation can improve soil health by reducing erosion, increasing organic matter, and enhancing soil structure. These practices increase soil fertility, improve water infiltration, and reduce soil degradation.Soil should be enriched with natural fertilizers such as organic and green manure and compost. Natural fertilizers are healthier for soil, plants, water, air and people than chemical fertilizers. Soil management is sustainable if the supporting, provisioning, regulating, and cultural services provided by soil are maintained or enhanced without significantly impairing either the soil functions that enable those services or biodiversity.Healthy soils produce healthy crops that in turn nourish people and animals. Indeed, soil quality is directly linked to food quality and quantity. Soils supply the essential nutrients, water, oxygen and root support that our food-producing plants need to grow and flourish. By adopting sustainable practices, farmers will reduce their reliance on nonrenewable energy, reduce chemical use and save scarce resources. Keeping the land healthy and replenished can go a long way when considering the rising population and demand for food. Sustainable Land Use ensures a fair and balanced distribution of land, water, biodiversity and other environmental resources between the various competing claims, in order to secure human needs now and in the future. Environmental management helps you identify degradation factors and implement strategies to mitigate them. It also helps you predict future impacts of environmental degradation and initiate processes to minimize the effects. The EMS helps identify areas where efficiency can be improved and savings made. Areas where tangible benefits and financial savings can be achieved are waste management, energy consumption, transportation, packaging and materials use. The other major benefits are: improved compliance with environmental legislation. An environmental management system (EMS) is a tool that helps an organization understand its environmental impacts and systematically operate more efficiently by reducing energy usage, minimizing waste and reducing pollution.

As I assert in my book, Fifty Years of Biodynamic Farming (available on ResearchGate), the regenerative techniques described above ultimately are rooted in the holistic, spiritual relationship of the farmer to the local and global environment. The extractive methods practiced in conventional agriculture have brought us to the tipping point of climate disaster, ecological ruin, declining public health, and economic failure.
