By prioritizing soil health, biodiversity and minimal chemical use, farmers can cultivate coconuts while preserving the natural balance of the ecosystem.
Sustainable production practices
Healthy soil is the foundation of successful farming. By enriching the soil with compost and organic matter, farmers create a nourishing environment for plant growth and nutrient absorption. Healthy soils support strong root systems, enhances water retention and fosters a healthy ecosystem.
Instead of relying on harmful pests, natural pest and disease management focuses on inter-friendly approaches like introducing beneficial insects, intercropping and using trap crops to helps control pests and diseases.
Water conservation strategies. Techniques like drip irrigation and water irrigation optimizes water usage, reduces waste and environment waste.
Biodiversity cultivation. This involves cultivating various plants and creating a diverse ecosystem. Intercropping compatible crops and supporting pollinators help maintain a healthy environment. Biodiversity enhances soil fertility, reduces pest pressure and boosts overall farm resilience.
