"Sustainable agriculture is agriculture that is ecologically sound, economically viable and it conserves the resources such as soil, ground and surface water, minerals, petroleum and biodiversity. Sustainable crop production is only possible when the natural resources based on which the production activity depends should not be eroded or harmed in any manner. Organic Farming is the wise answer to the problems. Organic farming means adopting techniques that maintain soil fertility indefinitely, that utilizes as far as possible, only renewable resources, that do not grossly pollute the environment and that fosters life energy within the soil and throughout the cycles of all the involved food grains.
