Abstract

Modern agricultural practices have significantly increased production through the use of chemical pesticides, inorganic fertilizers, and growth regulators. However, these methods have led to resource depletion, environmental degradation, and loss of crop diversity, highlighting their unsustainability. Sustainable agriculture emerged to address these issues, focusing on conserving natural resources and maintaining environmental quality.
