Why is Crop Rotation Important in Sustainable Farming? One of the simplest and most effective ways to maintain soil health is through crop rotation. By alternating crops each season, you can reduce pest buildup, improve nutrient availability, and increase overall farm yields. For example, planting legumes (soybeans, cowpea and peanuts) after cereals (wheat, maize, rice and millet) helps replenish nitrogen in the soil, leading to healthier and more productive crops in the next cycle. This age-old practice is key to maintaining long-term farm sustainability, especially in small-scale farming. Have you tried crop rotation on your farm?
