Abstract:
The agricultural sector plays a critical role in India's economy, contributing approximately 18-20% to the GDP and employing nearly 46% of the workforce. However, it also poses significant environmental and health challenges due to pollution from excessive chemical use, water over-extraction, and greenhouse gas emissions. This study aims to analyze the economic contributions of agriculture, the environmental impact of pollution, and the health risks associated with modern farming practices while exploring sustainable solutions for the sector’s future. The findings, collected from both primary and secondary sources, highlight a growing public awareness of the harmful effects of chemical farming, with many individuals showing interest in sustainable alternatives like organic farming. The study concludes sustainability depends on transitioning toward eco-friendly practices, improving farmer livelihoods, and integrating technological innovations to enhance productivity while reducing environmental harm.
