ABSTRACT
This paper challenges common misconceptions about
agriculture’s impact on the environment, particularly the idea that
agriculture is inherently harmful. By providing insights into
natural cycles, methane dynamics, and biodiversity benefits, the
study highlights how well-managed agricultural practices, such
as diverse crop management and rotational grazing, contribute
positively to the environment. Contrary to the myth, correctly
managed farmland and pastures foster biodiversity, support soil
health, and integrate animals as a natural part of ecosystems. The
paper compares the environmental impact of agriculture with
other sectors and emphasizes the need for a nuanced
understanding of sustainability in agriculture.
