Activities that improve soil, plant, and animal health can improve resilience to climate change. Regenerative agriculture practices such as no-till cultivation, not burning stubbles, and planting cover crops, can ensure that plants and soil are in the best condition to tolerate drought and erratic rainfall.

The industrial agriculture system consumes fossil fuel, water, and topsoil at unsustainable rates. It contributes to numerous forms of environmental degradation, including air and water pollution, soil depletion, diminishing biodiversity, and fish die-offs. When implementing climate-friendly agricultural practices, we need to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions and sequester carbon. Those are related but different goals. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we need to work towards reducing and eventually eliminating synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.

Sustainable agriculture gives equal weight to environmental, social, and economic concerns in agriculture. Agricultural sustainability rests on the principle that we must meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The single most important way to cut emissions from it is to use fewer fertilizers, while increasing the efficiency of their use. There are many strategies that can be used to help soften the effects and the further production of greenhouse gas emissions this is also referred to as climate-smart agriculture. Agricultural livestock are responsible for a large proportion of global greenhouse gas emissions, most notably methane. In addition, overgrazing is a major problem regarding environmental sustainability. In some places, stretches of forage land are consumed so extensively that grasses are unable to regenerate. 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.
