Abstract
Due to Green Revolution, emphasis has been laid on the use of chemical substances for self-sufficiency in the
field of food due to which there has been a detrimental effect on the productivity of agricultural land and soil
health etc. Sustainable agriculture is a form of farming which produces food grains sufficient to meet the needs
of the present generation without harming the productivity and ecological property of the life system of the
future generation. Organic farming is a method of farming in which no chemicals are used for the purpose of
obtaining produce. Rather, manure made from organic matter is used, which leads to the development of
sustainable agriculture.
