When the world was made something that could easily be noticed was greenery. And with the slow progress of civilization farmlands were the pieces of land that gave all the living forms on the planet everything that they required. From food to green piece of land to oxygen and to pastures of animals too were provided by them. But with urbanization and industrialization the people went on destroying all bits of farmlands they. Hence it became far more important so save the remaining farmlands than create new industries and apartments. Here are some ways that the people can take to save the farmlands:
1. If it’s in the family, save it
In a world which is dying out of the need for more farmlands there are a lot of families whose occupation through generations have been working on farmlands. This is the occupation that the kids falling in the lineage had to follow in the earlier days. But now the members of such families are opting for other services, but even then, if they have farmlands which belonged to their families, they should take a step forward and save it. They can keep people who can look after the farmlands if they themselves cannot or give it to the associations which are working to save all farmlands possible.
2. Encouraging farmers to work in a better manner on the farmlands
The basic problem remains that when the farmers aren’t being able to meet the ends by producing the yield from the farmland, they are forced to sell it off to people who would build industries on it. But if there were co-operative societies who would work together and educate the farmers about the importance of farmlands they would be encouraged to work better and give out more produce so that the farmlands need not be sold and in this way we could save a yielding farmland.
3. Small scale agriculture can help save farmlands too
One of the main reasons why farmlands are disappearing in a short span of time is because all the small land holding which can continue with their cultivation are being forced to annex themselves to the big ones which are being used for other purposes and are not being used the way they are supposed to be used. If the government and the NGOs take small steps and encourage people to take up the small land holding that they have and continue with their practice, little by little a lot of farmlands can be saved. When small scale agriculture prospers the industrialists will not have a reason to shut them down and use them for other reasons.
Since we have come across few and yet simple points as to how farmlands can be saved we can all do our bits and save all the farmlands which falls at least in our knowledge. Saving farmlands has two levels, the initiatives that the government will take and the small steps that the individuals will have to take. Together the farmlands can be saved.
