Sustainable agriculture is a farming approach that minimizes environmental harm while maintaining and expanding natural resources through ecosystem-informed practices. This field is crucial to plant science because it requires comprehensive understanding of plant physiology, soil biology, and ecological relationships to achieve productivity without degrading resources. Research in sustainable agriculture drives innovations in crop breeding, soil management, and integrated pest control—addressing the central challenge of feeding a growing population while preserving ecosystem health.
