Abstract: India's agricultural sector, the backbone of its economy and a critical component of its food security framework, faces significant challenges in the pursuit of sustainable development. This paper explores the imperative of sustainable agriculture in India and examines the role of various sustainable practices in addressing the sector's key challenges, focusing on Vision 2047, which aims to transform India into a developed nation by its centennial year of independence. The study highlights the importance of climate-smart agriculture, organic farming, and agroforestry in improving agricultural resilience, enhancing food security, and promoting environmental sustainability. It also emphasizes the role of socio-economic innovations, such as Farmer Producer Organizations and market linkages, in supporting sustainable practices and improving farmer livelihoods. The paper concludes by emphasizing the crucial role of sustainable agriculture in achieving India's Vision 2047 and calls for urgent action to scale up sustainable practices nationwide through multi-stakeholder collaboration and inclusive policies.
