        abstract = {Sustainable farming practices have emerged as a critical strategic response to the growing economic, environmental, and social challenges confronting contemporary agribusinesses. While extensive empirical research highlights the environmental benefits of sustainable agriculture, conceptual clarity on how these practices translate into agribusiness performance remains limited, particularly in emerging economy contexts. This conceptual paper develops an integrative framework to explain the mechanisms through which sustainable farming practices influence agribusiness performance. Drawing on the Resource-Based View, Triple Bottom Line, and institutional perspectives, the study conceptualizes sustainable farming practices such as resource-efficient input use, soil and water conservation, renewable energy integration, and circular bio-economy approaches. The paper proposes a set of theoretically grounded propositions linking sustainable practices to economic, environmental, and social performance outcomes of agribusiness firms. It further identifies key moderating and mediating factors, including policy support, technological capability, market orientation, and organizational commitment, that shape these relationships. By synthesizing fragmented literature and offering a unified conceptual model, this paper contributes to sustainability and agribusiness scholarship and provides a foundation for future empirical research. The proposed framework also offers practical insights for policymakers and agribusiness managers seeking to enhance competitiveness and resilience through sustainable agricultural transformation.},
