The sustainable agriculture development of any country depends upon the judicious uses of their available natural resources. In fact agriculture determine the fate of a country especially like India because about two third of its population still lives in rural part with agriculture as its livelihood. If agriculture goes wrong due to any of the reason like drought flood or low monsoon it will be really bad for economy of the country. Improvement of agriculture sector can be done through rapid growth of agriculture by increasing area of cultivation, cropping intensity and productivity. Increasing productivity is a big challenge because due to increasing urbanization and industrialization land size of the country has reduced. Being agriculture based economy sometimes we are bound to use natural resources beyond limits. Sometimes pandemic like COVID-19 is disrupting some activities in agriculture and supply chain. Harvesting activities is seriously interrupted in many parts of the country due to non-availability of migrant labors. Sustainability can be broadly classified in to three types which are interrelated viz. ecological sustainability, economical sustainability and social sustainability. India has transformed itself from a country of shortages to country of surpluses. With the rapid growth of the economy, a shift is also being seen in the consumption pattern from cereals to more varied and nutritious grains like oats jwar and bajra and fruits and vegetables. Similar with the milk, fish, meat and poultry products. Many developing countries like India are moving from traditional subsistence agriculture to commercial agriculture. In India about 75% people are living in rural areas and dependent on agriculture, about 43% land of geographical area is utilized for agriculture. Estimated food grain production is about 211.17 metric tons in the country. Sustainable development is essential for economic development as now we have limited quantity of resources. India has played an important role in shaping the Sustainable development goals.
