The motto of Sindh Agriculture University is 'Sustainable Agriculture For Food Security'.
The modern industrial agricultural practices are constantly being modified to become more sustainable. The concept of sustainable agriculture is simply that it creates more benefit for the environment in general than it does harm. A good example of pure sustainable agriculture would be an organic garden which is tended only with hand tools. While this is obviously too small to feed the world's needs, it provides a goal for industrial agriculture.
The benefits of using sustainable agriculture are many. It helps to protect the environment as well as human and animal health. It uses less energy than typical agriculture as well.
