4. Proposed Plan :- Sustainable agriculture for Soil Health and Food Security   The basis of the food system is a healthy soil. Good soils yield good crops, which is consumed by people and other animals. Indeed, the amount and quality of food are closely related to the state of the soil. One of the most significant and prevalent issues of the modern period limiting environmental sustainability and global food security is salt of the soil . The main causes of slow pace agricultural growth are rising air temperatures, intense rainfall events, weather patterns (such as protracted droughts and floods), shifting soil fertility and health, new pest infestations, and an increase in salt-affected areas. The climate-smart agriculture is regarded as a practical strategy for securing food security in an adverse environment .

5. Ideal Sustainable Agriculture System A sustainable agricultural system, according to the American Society of Agronomy (1989) is one that, over an extended period of time:- Satisfies the demand for food produced by humans, Makes the best use of land and other resources, Improves social and economic conditions for the local population, Increases environmental quality through the adoption of agricultural practises, Accepted politically and socially.

6. OBJECTIVES

7. Research questions Investigating/ analyzing/ studying the potential of using biochar to improve crop yields as well as the impact of plant development and crop yields on soil quality. Investigating how agroforestry and ecological services affect soil health in sustainable farming practices. Examining the possibilities of organic farming to enhance soil health and lessen environmental impact, and aquaponics to boost food production. looking into how agricultural subsidies and climate-smart farming methods affect resilience and food security.
