Introduction
Small Scale Sustainable Agriculture is used in many developing countries.
How to Practice Sustainable Agriculture
Advantages of Small Scale Sustainable Agriculture
Food is currently produced on a corporate level. Food is being transported intercontinental. The way that the food is being transported is releasing tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. With the way that the world produces and the way that we trade has caused mass destruction to planet. This includes global warming that is putting the ecosystem and human communities in danger. Global warming is affecting farmers through the changing weather patterns that bring about unusual weather that can destroy farmland and animals.
It is believe that small scale sustainable agriculture can help. These farmers help to produce renewable energy. Small scale sustainable agriculture is helping to cool down the earth.
Regions

Construction
These farms that use this practice of agriculture produce smaller amounts of the different products of the farm. The land use is limited and the products that they create are brought to local stores and markets to sell.
