Since the natural resources involved in agricultural activities are limited, the conditions for developing Sustainable Agriculture rest on the following basic <strong>rules<\/strong> :<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No renewable resource should exceed the limit of its production.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Respect the use and times of a non-renewable resource before replacing it with a renewable resource used in a sustainable manner.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Respect the process of recycling or reabsorption of a contaminant before its production.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As Sustainable Agriculture is an agricultural model, today&#8217;s farmer spends time to <strong>plan<\/strong> the production of his farm without damaging it by performing a <strong>SWOT analysis<\/strong> (strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities). <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A <strong>weakness<\/strong> could be the lack of water, a <strong>threat<\/strong> could be climate change, a <strong>strength<\/strong> could be the quality of the harvest, and an <strong>opportunity<\/strong> could be the installation of an irrigation system. Once the SWOT analysis has been carried out, the farmer begins to act on his farm.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A farm operated through a Sustainable Agriculture system is more <strong>profitable<\/strong> . With this model of <strong>sustainable agricultural practices,<\/strong> all natural resources are used to the maximum, less machinery is used and more labor is required, avoiding the emigration of young people.

For this reason, the <strong>use of inputs<\/strong> to supply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium help us to continue cultivating.
