The Indian government's policies have always stressed food grain self-sufficiency, which has not essentially coincided with agricultural sustainability. The growth of agricultural commodities in the India and enhanced productivity, which had risen noticeably between 1970s and 1980s, declined during 1990s. These slowdowns have worsened since 2000, both aggregate agricultural production and food grains production have shown decline growth rates during 2000-01 to 2002-03 era. Reduced growth rates of agricultural products are a serious issue analyzing the questions of food security, livelihood, and environment. Under these circumstances a detailed examination of the approaches for sustainable agricultural development is necessary. This analysis must be framed not only by India's ongoing need to ensure food self-sufficiency but also by the consequences of access to international markets. In order to achieve the sustainable agriculture in India government made few polices which are mentioned below: •Modification in the of existing production systems for instance altered crop rotations, introduction of green manuring, use of plant species adapted to specific conditions • Adopt such strategies which provide protection to the natural resources, e.g. erosion protection • Utilized existing resources in efficient way, e.g. irrigation, use of technology, basic and advanced training • Introduction new technologies and advanced branches of business, e.g. horticulture or aquaculture • Bring the new ideas in existing enterprises such as fruit trees to stabilize terraced fields, fish-farming in rice fields • Increase the value of agricultural commodities through further modification like production of yoghurt from milk • Modification of channels of distribution like by improving in the transport system
