Abstract :Agriculture has emerged as a critical sector for constructing a long-term economy that balances economic growth, social well-being, and environmental stewardship. This report examines the relationship between sustainable agricultural practices, economic development, and environmental protection in order to create a sustainable economy through agriculture. It emphasizes the critical significance of sustainable agriculture in generating economic prosperity. It explores how organic farming, agroecology, and precision agriculture improve production, maximize resource usage, and minimize input costs. These approaches not only promote agricultural output but also help to improve food security, farmer income, and rural livelihoods. It explains how sustainable agricultural techniques safeguard natural resources, soil fertility, water quality, and biodiversity. Sustainable agriculture guarantees long-term sustainability of agricultural systems by protecting the environment, mitigating the effects of climate change, and lowering the risk of environmental damage. It explores how sustainable agriculture fosters entrepreneurship, value chain development, and market connections, resulting in job creation, income production, and rural economic regeneration. It emphasizes the significance of supportive policies, financial access, and market-oriented initiatives in unlocking the economic potential of sustainable agriculture.
