Abstract

This study showcases the essential shift towards sustainability in Indian agriculture. Authors have delved into newspaper articles, research papers, public reports and surveys to achieve this objective. India is an agricultural powerhouse, producing a wide variety of crops and livestock. The agriculture sector employs over 50 per cent of the population and contributes 17 per cent to the GDP. However, India's agriculture sector is facing several challenges, including climate change, water scarcity, and rising input costs. There are pressing challenges of resource depletion, climate change, and food security. Through an interdisciplinary lens, this research investigates Water management strategies, Technology integration to enhance resilient and environmentally conscious agricultural systems and Credit Facilities for farmers to carry out sustainable agriculture. The prospects and difficulties of sustainability in the agriculture industry are identified by this study. The outcomes of the investigation are intended to give suggestions to policymakers, farmers, and the agriculture industry to ensure a sustainable future for India's agriculture.
