Sustainable agriculture is now a days a very popular term in the world of climate change. But the phrase was not known before 1980s. This term is first used by the Australian agriculturist Gordon McClymont and first published by Wes Jackson in his book New Roots for Agriculture in 1980.
Sustainable Agriculture is an approach of agriculture where farming is done by using resources in such a way that the resources are not depleted or permanently damaged. It is based on an understanding of ecosystem. It may be defined as the system for meeting the foods and textile needs of society in the present without compromising the ability of upcoming generations to meet the same. It is an integrated system of the production of food, fiber, biofuel or other plant or animal products that protect the environment, public health, human communities and animal welfare. This is the system which helps to_
Farmers may practice sustainable methods on their farm to enhance soil health, reduce water use and lower pollution levels. Food processors may use raw materials in a judicious way so that the materials will not be damaged. Distributors can transport the food or other products by maintaining both the economic viability and the environmental facts. Consumers and retailers can take the value based foods which are grown using methods supporting farm workers welfare.
Actually, it may be said that sustainable agriculture is more than a set of practices. It is also a matter of negotiation because we have to see the interests of an individual farmers or of people in a community as they work to solve the complex problems during the growing of foods and other products.
So from the above discussion, it may be concluded that sustainable agriculture is a system of the production of foods, feeds and other products which is environmentally safe, ecologically suitable and economically viable. If we want to keep the future generations healthy and safe, we have to practice more and more sustainable ways for meeting up our daily needs. Otherwise, the world will be very difficult to sustain for the forthcoming generations.

This is the system which helps to_
- Meet up the needs for human foods and fiber.
- Improve environmental quality and the natural resource base.
- Do the most judicial use of non-renewable resources and on farm resources.
- Keep the economic viability of farm works continuously.
- Develop the living standard of farmers and society.
