Abstract

Sustainable development of agriculture is essential to achieve the multiple goals of improving food and nutrition security, improving farmers’ income, and reducing poverty, especially in developing countries like India where agriculture is the main source of livelihood for millions of small-scale producers. Hence, understanding the dimensions and indicators of sustainability is important for targeting technologies and policies for ensuring inter-general equity in agriculture. Considering several dimensions and indicators related to soil health, water management, ecology, and socioeconomic conditions this study has constructed composite indices of agricultural sustainability for major states of India. These indices will aid policymakers to identify weak linkages in agricultural development at a spatial scale, and accordingly take corrective actions.
