Answer: True

Sustainable agriculture is a process of farming in a sustainable way. This involves the implementation of methods which induce high yielding, nutritious , disease free crops.The sustainable agriculture also ensures the growth of crops without causing any harm to the natural environment. The decrease in use of pesticides and herbicides can help in agricultural sustainability as pesticides and herbicides although removes the unwanted insects and plant species in the agricultural field but also decrease the quality of crop by inducing chemicals in them. These chemicals are harmful which after consumption by human population may result in detrimental consequences on health. These chemicals can also pollute soil, water and air hence, are responsible for environmental hazards.
