There is an urgent need to develop farming technique, which are sustainable from environment, production and socio-economic point of view. The means to guarantee sufficient food production in the next decades and beyond in critical because modern agricultural production thought the world does not appear to be sustainable in the long-term. The agricultural community is thus setting its hopes on sustainable agriculture, which will maintain the cycles of input-output and eco-system balance. It has now been realised that participation of all section of the farm women, can be brought into the mainstream by developing appropriate and suitable technologies for the farming community. Hence, this study was taken up in Cuddalore district of Tamilnadu. A sample size of 60 farmers was selected by using simple random sampling. The suitability of eco-friendly paddy technologies as perceived by farmers was measured with the help of well structured interview schedule. Besides that the group discussion and observations were also used for data collection for each technology, further they were classified into highly suitable, moderately suitable and less suitable for the purpose of categorisation of suitability of eco-friendly technologies.

Sustainable agriculture, farm women, environmental sustainability, etc.
