Sustainable development in sericulture
Sustainable development in sericulture (silk farming) involves cultivating silk in ways that are environmentally responsible, economically viable, and socially beneficial. It means using eco-friendly practices such as conserving water, reducing chemical use, and protecting natural resources, while ensuring fair wages and safe working conditions for farmers. The goal is to produce high-quality silk without harming the environment or depleting resources for future generations. This balanced approach supports the livelihood of sericulture farmers, maintains biodiversity, and promotes long-term growth of the silk industry in a way that respects ecological and social integrity.
