Sustainable agriculture is the pratice of farming
using principles of ecology ,the study of
relationship between organisms and their
environment.
this form of agriculture enables us to produce
healthful food without compromising future
generations ability to do the same.
 OBJECTIVES
• To satisfy human food an fibre needs.
• make the most efficient use of non-renewable
resources and on-farm resources an integrate
where appropriate.
• sustain the economic viability of farm
operations.
• enhances the quality of life for farmers and
society as a whole.
Benefits of sustainable agriculture
primary benefits of sustainable agriculture are
1) environmental preservation
sustainable farming produce crops and
raise animals without relying on toxic
chemical, pesticides, synthetic fertilizers,
genetically modified seeds, or practices that
degrade soil, water or other natural resoures
2) Protection of public health
since sustainable crop farms avoid hazardous
pesticides, they are able to grow fruits and
vegetables that are safer for consumers, workers
and surrounding communities.

likewise sustainable livestock farmers an

ranchers raise animals without dangerous
practices like non-therapeutic antibiotic or
arsenic based growth.
3) Sustaining vibrant communities
A critical component of sustainable agriculture is
its ability to remain economically viable
providing farmers, farm workers, food processors
an others employed in the food system with a
liveable wage an safe fair working condition.
4) Upholding animal welfare
sustainable farmers and ranchers treat animals
with care an respect, implementing livestock
husbandry practise that protect animals health
and well being
 TECHNIQUES OF

SUSTAINABLE FARMING
 INTEGRATED PEST MANAGMENT(IPM)

IPM is a broad based approach that

integrates sustainable practice for economic
control of pests. It is a careful consideration
of all available pest control techniques and
subsequent integration of appropriate
measures that discourages the
development of pest population and keep
pesticides to levels that reduce or minimise
the risk to humans health and environment.
 CROP ROTATION

Sustainable practice of growing series of

different types of crops in same area in
sequential seasons . crop rotation gives
various nutrients to soil, it also mitigates
the build up of pathogens and
pests that often occurs when one species
is continuously cropped and also
improve soil structure and fertility.
 BIOTECHNOLOGY
Use of living systems or organisms to develop
or make useful produts. Biotechnology can
provide appropriate new tools for use in
solution of specific problems in
sustainable agriculture.
 USE OF ORGANIC FERTILIZERS

Organic waste are derived from animal matter

or veg matter. The use of organic fertilizes
in sustainable gardens and farms are quickly
gaining popularity.
 CONSERVATION TILLAGE
conservations tillage is any method
of soil ultivation that leaves the
previous years crop residue on
fields before and after planting the
next crop.
