Agroecosystem design involves creating agricultural systems that mimic natural ecosystems, ensuring long-term productivity and sustainability. This approach integrates diverse elements like crop diversity, livestock, and beneficial insects to enhance ecosystem services. Techniques such as intercropping and agroforestry improve soil health and reduce pests without relying on synthetic inputs. Water management strategies, like rainwater harvesting, further contribute to resilience against climate variability. By aligning agricultural practices with ecological principles, agroecosystem design fosters sustainable farming, promotes biodiversity, and supports rural livelihoods while minimizing environmental impacts.
