Closed-loop crop systems refer to farming practices that aim to minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency. In these systems, organic waste, such as crop residues and livestock manure, is recycled back into the farming process, providing nutrients for future crops. This creates a sustainable cycle where input resources are minimized, and environmental impact is reduced. Closed-loop systems often involve crop rotations, integrated pest management, and other techniques that ensure long-term soil health and productivity. By reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers and external inputs, closed-loop crop systems promote sustainable agriculture, improve soil fertility, and reduce environmental pollution, making farming more resilient and eco-friendly.
