The topic or subject of the PowerPoint presentation is sustainable development of agriculture. The presentation provides information on various aspects of sustainable agriculture, including the importance of sustainable agriculture, challenges faced by farmers, and the role of technology in promoting sustainable agriculture. It also discusses the need for sustainable agricultural practices to ensure food security, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and protect the environment. According to the presentation, sustainable agriculture is crucial for the long-term health of the planet and its inhabitants. It involves the use of practices that minimize the impact on the environment, such as crop rotation, conservation tillage, and integrated pest management. These practices help to maintain soil health, reduce erosion, and promote biodiversity. The presentation also highlights the challenges faced by farmers in adopting sustainable agricultural practices. These challenges include lack of access to financial resources, limited knowledge and skills, and inadequate infrastructure. To address these challenges, the presentation suggests the need for government support, public-private partnerships, and capacity building programs. Furthermore, the presentation emphasizes the role of technology in promoting sustainable agriculture. It discusses how technology can help farmers to improve crop yields, reduce input costs, and minimize environmental impacts. The presentation also highlights the potential of precision agriculture, which involves the use of sensors, drones, and other advanced technologies to optimize crop management. In conclusion, the PowerPoint presentation on sustainable development of agriculture provides valuable insights into the importance of sustainable agriculture, the challenges faced by farmers, and the role of technology in promoting sustainable practices. It underscores the need for a concerted effort from all stakeholders to ensure the long-term sustainability of our agricultural systems.

4. Sustainable Development
 Sustainable Development is an oversearching paradigm of
United Nations.
 Sustainable development is an organizing principle for
meeting human development goals while also sustaining
the ability of natural systems to provide the natural
resources and ecosystem services on which the economy
and society depend.
 Undersustainable development occurs when present
progress at the expense of future generations.

5. Origin of the concept of Sustainable
Development
 The concept of sustainable development formed the
basis of the United Nations Conference on
Environment and Development held in Rio de
Janeiro in 1992. The summit marked the first
international attempt to draw up action plans and
strategies for moving towards a more sustainable
pattern of development.

6. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
 What are the Sustainable Development Goals? The
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also
known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the
United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to
action to end poverty, protect the planet, and
ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and
prosperity.
 SDGs are the blueprint to achieve a better and
more sustainable future for all. They address the
global challenges we face.

7. SDGs
 United Nations gave 17 Sustainable Development goals, from
which few goals are as below:
1. End poverty in all its forms. (1st)
2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and
promote sustainable agriculture. (2nd)
3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.
(3rd )
4. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. (12th )
5. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
(13th )
6. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial
ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat
desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt
biodiversity loss.

9. Sustainable Agriculture
 Sustainable Agriculture is the practice of farming using the
principles of ecology, or say “Farming in sustainable ways
meeting society’s present food and textile needs, without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their own needs”.
Or
 Sustainable agriculture can be defined in many ways, but
ultimately it seeks to sustain farmers, resources and
communities by promoting farming practices and methods
that are profitable, environmentally sound and good for
communities.

10. Why do we need sustainable Agricultural
practices ?
 Sustainable Farming(SF) restores and norishes the soil.
 SF works in harmony with the nature, not against it.
 Sustainable farms save energy.
 SF protects and conserves water.
 Sustainable Agriculture (SA) values diversity.
 SA provides resilience in a world of climate change.
 True SA is good for people, the planet and is profitable.

13. Permaculture :
 Permaculture can be understood as the growth of
agricultural ecosystems in a self-sufficient and sustainable
way. This form of agriculture draws inspiration from
nature to develop synergetic farming systems based on
crop diversity, resilience, natural productivity, and
sustainability.
Biodynamic Agriculture:
 Biodynamic plants are grown in the ground in living soil,
which provides a quality of health and nutrition not
possible with chemical fertilizers or hydroponic growing.
Biodynamic farms aspire to generate their own fertility
through composting, integrating animals, cover cropping,
and crop rotation.

14. Precision Agriculture:
 Precision agriculture (PA) is an approach to farm
management that uses information technology (IT) to
ensure that crops and soil receive exactly what they need
for optimum health and productivity. The goal of PA is to
ensure profitability, sustainability and protection of the
environment.
Conservation Agriculture:
 Conservation Agriculture (CA) is a farming system that can
prevent losses of arable land while regenerating degraded
lands. It promotes maintenance of a permanent soil cover,
minimum soil disturbance, and diversification of plant
species.

15.  Integrated Pest Management (IPM):
 Integrated pest management is a decision-making system
that allows for the use of a variety of pest-control tactics
to keep insect pests below the economic threshold. IPM is
not aimed at the total elimination of insect pests but at
reduction below a certain number that will not cause
economic losses.
 Integrated pest management, or IPM, is a process you can
use to solve pest problems while minimizing risks to
people and the environment. IPM can be used to manage
all kinds of pests anywhere–in urban, agricultural, and
wildland or natural areas.
 Methods used in IPM includes one or the combination of
the these:- Cultural control (crop rotation, use of locally
adapted or pest resistant/tolerant varieties, sanitation,
manipulating planting/harvest dates to avoid pests)
Biological control (protect, enhance or import natural
enemies of pests).

16. Will be glad to answer your
Queries😇
 “The research shows that asking more questions
builds emotional intelligence, lending to better
soft skills – key in leadership at work and
interpersonal relationship building. Asking
questions is an effective way to better
communicate and connect with others.”
