Sustainable Practices in Avocado Farming

Sustainability in avocado farming is gaining attention due to the high water demand and environmental impact of large-scale farms. Sustainable practices include drip irrigation systems to reduce water usage and planting cover crops to prevent soil erosion. Farmers are also adopting organic methods to reduce the use of pesticides and chemicals. Additionally, agroforestry, where avocados are grown alongside other crops, helps maintain biodiversity and reduces the farm’s carbon footprint. Emphasizing these eco-friendly methods can also increase consumer appeal in international markets.
