Abstract

Surmounting the unparalleled and complex challenges that the entire planet faces demands transformative action and measures, encompassing the principles of sustainable development that leave no one behind. Looking forward, the route to inclusive prosperity and well-being of the people is clearly marked by the aspirational goals set by the UN member states in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Agriculture, being a prime linkage between the planet and people, can play a big part in addressing the future needs of the world along with the sustainable management of natural resources. Therefore, the paper focuses on the transformation of the agricultural sector to achieve sustainable development goals by making the agricultural system more efficient, productive, and resilient in a socially-responsible, economicallyfeasible, and environmentally-sustainable manner.
