The damage to the environment caused by commercial farming ranges from pollution to climate change. This agricultural process has resulted in worsening water pollution, soil erosion, and biodiversity. Not only does commercial agriculture use up limited natural resources, but greenhouse gases are emitted when produce is shipped.

Sustainable agriculture promotes farming methods that are profitable, environmentally friendly, and beneficial for communities. Its goal is to meet the needs of our rapidly growing population without compromising the natural resources for future generations and is practiced with a deep understanding of ecosystem services and a plan for the future in mind. - Western Sare
