IntroductionAgriculture plays an essential role towards human survival thus making it a primary requirement eachnation, community, and person must consider. The past few decades have seen the use of commercialmethods of farming which have helped improve yields over the short term period but contributedtowards land and environment degradation over the long-term perspective. With chemical fertilizersand pesticides affecting land resource negatively over the long-term perspective, it has becomeimportant for suitable farming approaches to be adopted. Organic farming has therefore registered arise in demand in recent years but scientists have also been placed under pressure to develop newtechnologies to address major concerns such as increased farm yields and pest control using harmlessand organic solution, (Barh, Zambare & Azevedo, 2013). The report shall explore different approacheswhich can be used by farmers to improve farm production while addressing environmental norms. Thiswill be achieved by developing a farm environmental plan highlighting the different approaches whichcan be used to improve production, retain farmland fertility and protect Flora and Fauna from harmfulchemicals.2
