Answer:

D) sustainable agriculture

Step-by-step explanation:

Sustainable agriculture is a type of agricultural practice that is mainly involved in the production of long term crops and livestock without causing environmental degradation. Sustainable agriculture ensures economic viability of crops and efficient use of nonrenewable resources and on-farm resources. In sustainable agriculture, the use of fertilizers and pesticides is reduced, mixing crops method is used to avoid diseases destroying a whole crop, water is conserved by using water management systems (such as drip irrigation), and there is promotion of biodiversity in crops grown .
