dc.description.abstract	Agriculture is one of the biggest industries globally, with various impacts on ecosystems, climate change, biodiversity, and water conservation. Increasing the sustainability of farms is powered by innovative solutions provided to farmers to address agricultural challenges that impact the environment. This project focuses on sustainability practices that are implemented on the edges of fields, and how such practices can increase sustainable agricultural practices integration. A meta-analysis is performed to evaluate the viability of all the available edge of field practices, conduct a cost-benefit analysis to maximize opportunities for using edge of field practices, and craft a final recommendation of the practices that have the highest potential for farmers.
