Unsustainable farming practices, such as excessive tilling and monoculture, lead to soil degradation and erosion, reducing agricultural productivity.

Deforestation and the loss of biodiversity due to agricultural expansion and unsustainable land-use practices are major contributors to environmental degradation.

The use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and improper waste disposal contributes to soil and water pollution, adversely affecting the environment and human health.

Improper waste disposal in rural and agricultural areas leads to environmental pollution, including plastic waste and the burning of crop residues, which contribute to air pollution.

Rural communities often rely on traditional, inefficient energy sources, such as wood and fossil fuels, leading to deforestation, health problems, and greenhouse gas emissions.

Many farmers, particularly in rural areas, lack access to modern technologies and knowledge that could help improve productivity and sustainability.

Many rural communities face economic hardship, with limited access to markets, financial resources, and business opportunities, especially for women and youth.

Women, particularly in rural communities, often face barriers to land ownership, access to resources, and decision-making power in agriculture.

Fragmented farming communities often lack the ability to collaborate and share resources, limiting their impact and access to larger markets or technological advancements.
