The excessive reliance on pesticides and chemical fertilizers leading to soil degradation is also a big problem.

That's right. Therefore, "sustainable agriculture," which secures yields while minimizing the burden on the environment, has become indispensable.

To reduce the burden on farmers, active support from the government is also indispensable, isn't it?

You're exactly right. A mechanism where producers and consumers unite to support the sustainable future of food is required.
