What are the sustainable development goals of agriculture?
Agroecological practices like Natural Farming being a cost-effective and ecologically compatible alternative would be an enabler in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. By reducing input costs, they can ensure better income and financial stability, which would in turn help alleviate poverty, bring in gender equality and ensure sustainable production and consumption patterns. This method would ensure food security and zero hunger through better yield, diversity in cropping and access to a suite of nutritional sources and income-generating crops throughout the year. The water-conserving and ecological-preservation aspects of Natural Farming contribute to the availability and sustainable management of water, reduction of CO2 emissions in various stages of agricultural value chain. The reduced use of chemical inputs in agriculture in turn would result in arrest of land degradation; reduce ocean acidification; and marine pollution from land-based activities.   Natural Farming  would ensure good health of farmers   consumers and can  contribute to the reduction of    various diseases in the community.
