Abstract
All global development is based on the agricultural practice. If not managed responsibly, increasing its productivity and production might have an impact on the land's capacity in the future. Preserving potential land use might be achieved through sustainable agriculture. Enhancing and balancing productivity with environmental sustainability may be accomplished by concentrating on locally accessible organic resources, INM, IFS, etc. and proper management of soil health. Due to their high input usage efficiencies, decreased use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, and enhanced soil resilience and quality in a changing climate, they might increase agricultural output and ecosystem sustainability. This review briefly overviews sustainable agriculture, its components, and the potential to achieving overall sustainability by integrating innovative agronomic approaches and practices to meet the increasing demands for food while preserving the environment.
