Conventional agriculture refers to the traditional farming practices that rely on synthetic chemical inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides to enhance crop production. This method often involves the use of monocropping, heavy machinery, and genetically uniform crop varieties to maximize yields. While conventional agriculture has significantly contributed to global food production, it also raises concerns about environmental sustainability, soil health, and biodiversity. This tag covers topics related to these farming techniques, their impacts, advancements, and alternatives.
