Sustainable Agriculture is the act of farming using principle of ecology, the study of relationship between organism and their environment. It has been defined as an integrated system of plant and animal production practices having a site specific application that will last over the long term and help the environment. For decades, in India, farmers have produced the bulk of our food through intensive agriculture, a system dominated by farms growing the same crops year after year, using enormous amount of chemical pesticide and fertilizers, that damage the soil, water, air and climate. This system is not built to last because it squanders and degrades the natural resources that it depends on. But now a days a number of farmers and scientist are taking a different path moving toward a farming system that is more sustainable in nature: environmentally, economically and socially. Hence we generally denote Sustainable Agriculture as the “wave of the future”
