Abstract

This research paper explores the influence of farming on soil health in terms of sustainable agriculture practices. The core research questions investigate the effects of conventional farming, organic farming, crop rotation, chemical inputs, and regenerative agriculture on soil ecosystems. The study applies qualitative methods that involve literature review, expert interviews, and case studies to analyze the effects of these farming practices on soil health and sustainability. Findings indicate that the integration of traditional methods with modern approaches, using organic practices, crop rotation, and regenerative agriculture significantly improves soil health and supports long-term sustainability. However, challenges remain in scaling regenerative practices and balancing chemical use in farming systems.
