The paper addresses challenges in sustainable agriculture caused by climate change and environmental degradation. It advocates for the use of organic fertilizers and cover crops to enhance soil health, reduce reliance on chemical inputs, and mitigate environmental impacts. Organic amendments such as biochar, compost, and diversified crop rotations improve soil microbial activity, nutrient cycling, and carbon sequestration. The study highlights these methods as sustainable solutions for agricultural systems, ensuring long-term food security and climate change resilience.
