Farming that lasts
- We saw how careless farming erodes soil and pollutes water.
- But farming can be done in ways that protect the land.
- These methods keep the soil healthy for future harvests.
- Together they make up sustainable agriculture.
能长久的农业
- 我们看到了粗心的农业如何侵蚀土壤、污染水。
- 但农业可以以保护土地的方式进行。
- 这些方法让土壤为未来的收成保持健康。
- 它们一起构成可持续农业。
Crop rotation
- Sustainable agriculture 可持续农业 grows food while protecting the soil.
- Crop rotation 轮作 means growing different crops in a field each season.
- Different crops use and replace different nutrients, keeping the soil balanced.
- It also breaks the life cycles of pests, reducing the need for pesticides.
轮作
- 可持续农业(sustainable agriculture)种植食物,同时保护土壤。
- 轮作(crop rotation)意味着每季在一块田里种不同的作物。
- 不同的作物使用并补充不同的养分,让土壤平衡。
- 它还打破害虫的生命周期,减少对农药的需求。
Sustainable agriculture aims to grow food while… · 可持续农业旨在种植食物,同时……
Sustainable agriculture grows food in ways that keep the soil and environment healthy for the long term. · 可持续农业以让土壤和环境长期保持健康的方式种植食物。
Protecting the soil surface
- No-till 免耕 farming plants seeds without ploughing.
- Leaving the soil and old plant cover undisturbed shields it from erosion.
- Contour ploughing 等高耕作 follows the curves of a slope, not straight up and down.
- This slows runoff so water soaks in instead of washing soil away.
保护土壤表面
- 免耕(no-till)农业不犁地就播种。
- 让土壤和旧的植物覆盖不受扰动,保护它免受侵蚀。
- 等高耕作(contour ploughing)顺着一个斜坡的曲线,而不是笔直地上下。
- 这让径流慢下来,让水渗入,而不是把土壤冲走。
How does crop rotation help the soil? · 轮作如何帮助土壤?
Rotating crops avoids draining the same nutrients and breaks pest cycles, keeping soil healthy. · 轮作避免耗尽相同的养分,打破害虫周期,让土壤保持健康。
Farming without ploughing, to protect the soil from erosion, is called ____-till. · 不犁地、以保护土壤免受侵蚀的农业,叫做____耕。
No-till farming leaves the soil and plant cover undisturbed, greatly reducing erosion. · 免耕农业让土壤和植物覆盖不受扰动,大大减少侵蚀。
Working with nature
- Sustainable farms build healthy soil full of organic matter.
- They plant cover crops to protect and enrich bare fields.
- They use less chemical fertiliser and pesticide.
- The goal is a farm that stays productive year after year, indefinitely.
与大自然合作
- 可持续的农场培育富含有机物的健康土壤。
- 它们种植覆盖作物来保护并丰富裸露的田地。
- 它们用更少的化学化肥和农药。
- 目标是一个年复一年、无限期保持高产的农场。
Sustainable or harmful practice? · 可持续还是有害的做法?
Sort each farming practice by whether it protects the soil or damages it. · 按照每种农业实践是保护土壤还是损害它,给它们分类。
Ploughing across a slope (contour ploughing) helps slow water and reduce erosion. · 沿坡横向犁地(等高耕作)帮助让水慢下来、减少侵蚀。
Contour ploughing follows the shape of the land, so water flows slowly instead of racing downhill. · 等高耕作顺着土地的形状,所以水缓慢流动,而不是飞速下坡。
Select all · 所有 sustainable farming practices. · 选出所有可持续的农业实践。
Bare-soil monoculture drains nutrients and erodes soil. The other three protect it. · 裸土单一栽培耗尽养分、侵蚀土壤。其余三种保护它。
Sustainable agriculture is not about producing less — it is about producing food without using up the soil. A farm that erodes its topsoil may harvest well for a few years, then fail. Sustainable methods trade a little short-term convenience for harvests that can continue forever.
可持续农业不是要生产更少——而是要不用尽土壤地生产食物。一个侵蚀它表土的农场可能收成好几年,然后失败。可持续的方法用一点短期的便利,换取能永远持续的收成。
Rotating a field:
- Year one, a farmer grows maize, which drains nitrogen from the soil.
- Year two, they plant beans, whose root bacteria add nitrogen back.
- The soil stays fertile, pests are disrupted, and less fertiliser is needed — all from simply rotating the crops.
轮作一块田:
- 第一年,一个农民种玉米,它从土壤里耗尽氮。
- 第二年,他们种豆子,豆子的根部细菌把氮加回去。
- 土壤保持肥沃,害虫被打乱,需要更少的化肥——全都来自简单地轮换作物。
Sustainable agriculture grows food while protecting the soil for the future. Key methods include crop rotation (varying crops to balance nutrients and disrupt pests), no-till farming (planting without ploughing to prevent erosion), and contour ploughing (following slopes to slow runoff). The aim is farming that can continue indefinitely.
可持续农业种植食物,同时为未来保护土壤。关键的方法包括轮作(变换作物以平衡养分、打乱害虫)、免耕农业(不犁地就播种以防止侵蚀)和等高耕作(顺着斜坡以让径流慢下来)。目标是能无限期持续的农业。
