The two correct answers that represent challenges to implementing sustainable farming practices are:
1. **Higher initial costs** - Sustainable farming practices often require investments in new technologies, equipment, or infrastructure that can be costly upfront.
2. **Increased labor costs** - Sustainable farming methods may require more manual labor and time-intensive processes compared to conventional methods, leading to higher labor costs.
Other options, while relevant to agriculture, are not specifically challenges tied to the implementation of sustainable practices in the same way as the two selected.
