摘要
Sustainability essentially involves maintaining level of per capita well-being over time. With coming of the concept of sustainability the line of distinction existing between Human and society got vanished and there was a paradigm shift to understanding the various dimension of human society and their inter linkages along with the challenges we face. This paper reviews contemporary thinking and outlines the challenges with regard to the three very important dimensions, namely: urbanization, food insecurity and agriculture. Among the various reasons for growing food insecurity the key one has been Urbanization and its consequential increase in population. Through this paper we are presenting the ideas and practices of agricultural sustainability dealing with the following problems: Agro-environmental Sources, Inputs System, Socio-Economic system and the various Farming Systems. Also in this paper outline for ideas of urban sustainability incorporating the concept of urban social sustainability, understanding the position of urban ecology have been studied. Concept of urban farming is also important, since it helps to reduce problems in urban food supply by ensuring urban food security.
