Linkage of Sustainable Agriculture with Quality of Life: A Quantitative Assessment

Abstract Agriculture often places a significant strain on the environment and natural resources. Sustainable agriculture aims to maintain and improve soil fertility, protect the environment, and expand the Earth's natural resource base, improving life quality. The principal aim of this research project is to determine a relationship between the advancement of sustainable agriculture and the standard of living, which includes all aspects of an individual's life circumstances, such as natural, social, and economic. Because sustainable agriculture is complex, it must be thoroughly examined. This calls for a rigorous process for a thorough investigation. This required methodically classifying 24 indicators into a subset, which defined specific elements within the environmental (10 indicators), economic (13 indicators), and social (1 indicator) domain dimensions. To check the relationship of all the indicators, trend of all the indicators has been shown after normalization. The results show that there is a harmful impact of degradation in environment's quality on people's heath. The government should organize awareness camps to aware people about use of fertilizers and pesticides. This will promote chemical-free, environmentally friendly agricultural practices that will improve soil health. This will require addressing the weaknesses in technical training, certification, and marketing infrastructure for farmers.
