SSC CGL 2025 PYQ — Question 46

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Development of sustainable agricultural ecosystems.

Permaculture, a contraction of "permanent agriculture" and "permanent culture," is an innovative framework for creating sustainable and self-sufficient agricultural ecosystems. It focuses on observing and mimicking the patterns and resilient features found in natural ecosystems. By integrating land, resources, people, and the environment through mutually beneficial synergies, it aims for a closed-loop system that minimizes waste. Key practices include rainwater harvesting, companion planting, and organic farming, ensuring long-term ecological balance and food security without depleting natural resources.
