Both environmental and public health must be aligned in order to successfully achieve the SDG goal Zero Hunger. Implementing sustainable agricultural practices can help through harmonizing natural processes that promote resilience of the agroecosystem for sustained production as well as the nourishment of the growing population. Thus, by delivering sustainable nutrition, sustainable agriculture makes the bridge between environmental and public health and aids towards developing a greener economy. Sustainable Agriculture and the Environment presents both environmental and economic principles. Environmental criterion concern with technology protection or enhancing the farm resource base and thus improving soil productivity in terms of not only the quantity; but the quality while economic criterion is the technology meeting the farmer’s production goals and is profitable.
