December Free Report: Agricultural Practices in the Philiipines

by Jae Hee Lee | 31-12-2023 23:22 recommendations 0

The Philippines' strong agricultural history has long served as the foundation of the country's economy. However, environmental issues have developed as a result of this industry's traditional methods. This report addresses the environmental issues and suggests more environmentally friendly approaches while examining the urgent need for sustainable agricultural sources in the Philippines.


Environmental Impact of Conventional Agriculture:

Conventional agricultural practices in the Philippines often involve deforestation, use of dangerous chemical fertilizers, and incorrect waste disposal. These actions contribute to soil degradation, biodiversity loss, and water pollution, threatening the country's ecosystems.


Sustainable Agriculture:

Possible alternatives are provided by sustainable agriculture practices such as  pest control, organic farming, etc.  These methods put biodiversity, soil health, and environmental protection first, preserving agricultural practices' long-term sustainability while reducing their detrimental effects on the environment.


Water Conservation:

Climate change has made the water scarcity problems in the Philippines worse. Sustainable agricultural practices prioritize conserving water by using rainwater harvesting, and effective irrigation techniques. By implementing such approaches, the agricultural sector can help ensure the sustainability of water resources.
