Answer
Farms feed us, but overusing chemicals harms soil, so they must be sustainable.

Explanation

  • Agricultural fields are needed to grow food for a large population.
  • But overusing chemicals and monoculture harm the soil.
  • So farms must use organic and natural methods.
  • That is why sustainable farming protects soil and food security.
Farms must feed us without destroying the soil.
