Abstract

Agriculture is the primary source of livelihood and poverty alleviation for the major portion of human society. In some cases, considerable progress in poverty reduction may have been achieved at the cost of sacrificing environmental sustainability. For example, the Green Revolution that transformed agriculture and, in some cases, boosted food production also degraded agricultural land and water catchments through soil erosion and excessive use of chemical inputs. Unsustainable agricultural practices have often deteriorated the environmental sustainability as well as the long-term productivity of agricultural land. The Indian government has implemented various poverty alleviation programs and social welfare initiatives to address these issues, but all of these have not successfully alleviated the poverty of rural areas. Sustainable agriculture's capability to reduce poverty can significantly encourage policy discussions, create knowledge-sharing opportunities, and enhance capacity-building possibilities. Such initiatives would assist in disseminating innovative technological developments and policy approaches to promote sustainable agriculture and eliminate poverty, thus improving livelihood opportunities in rural agricultural regions. This paper aims to assess the status of agricultural resources and suggest sustainable planning measures.
