Summary/Abstract: Farmers face the challenges of climate change and rising production costs, forcing them to apply the most efficient farming practices in order to achieve sustainable agriculture. More and more farmers are rethinking traditional tillage methods and introducing changes to implement more agroecological practices. Intensive farming brings with it negative consequences such as reduced soil fertility, loss of organic carbon, reduced biodiversity, and the excessive use of natural resources, which threatens sustainable agriculture. It is therefore important to place equal emphasis on both increasing crop productivity and focusing on, implementing, and using agri-environmental practices. Choosing the appropriate practice, such as working towards a no-till system or a more balanced strip-till approach, will lead to a positive impact on agriculture and the environment. The goal of this paper is to investigate the impact of agroecological practices, in particular strip-tillage, on environmental protection. The research methodology covers a literature review on the concept of strip-tillage technology, an analysis of the effects of the adoption of this technology in agriculture, and an assessment of the future prospects of strip-tillage for environmental protection.
