Summary

The world population is increasing in a disquieting rate while the quantity of food to gratify this snowballing human population is an annoyance to agrarian scientists and policymakers around the globe. Today's population is snatching natural resources from the future which can endanger the future generation's right to have nutritious food and clean air. The causes for this challenge can be enumerated and listed out, but singled out as lack of and/or poor implementation of novel approaches and practices for sustainable agriculture. Some of the novel approaches are but not limited to climate smart agriculture (CSA), organic farming, biodynamic agriculture, sustainable intensification and regenerative agriculture; and novel practices as integrated farming system (IFS), precision agriculture,

Regional applicability

The paper does not specify a particular geographic focus. The approaches reviewed (CSA, organic farming, sustainable intensification, INM, IPM) have applicability across diverse agroecological contexts, including the United Kingdom, though region-specific evidence and local adaptation requirements would need further investigation.

Key measures

Adoption of sustainable agriculture approaches and practices; agricultural sustainability outcomes

Outcomes reported

The paper reviews novel approaches (climate-smart agriculture, organic farming, biodynamic agriculture, sustainable intensification, regenerative agriculture) and practices (integrated farming systems, precision agriculture, integrated nutrient management, integrated pest management) for sustainable agriculture. It examines how adoption of these approaches and practices can safeguard agricultural sustainability.
