Abstract
With changing climate and declining fertile soil, the pressure on land to sustain the huge global population is intense. Soil management with respect to organic matter, nutrient turn over, and conventional agricultural practices thus becomes vital pillars of crop yield and sustainable agriculture. The bottlenecks in maintaining the sustainable practices include pest infestations and bioaccumulation of toxic metals through its entry into the food chain. The knowledge and understanding coupled with schematic implementation of low external input sustainable agriculture (LEISA) and high external input agriculture (HEIA) may be an effective strategy to counter the declining status of fertile soil profile. Further, soil acts as an important carbon sink which accounts for 50–66% of global carbon loss, which indicate the necessity of soil management in the context of carbon sequestration. Climate change can trigger intensive soil erosion, reduced soil fertility, and drastic reduction in agricultural productivity lead into soil de-stability. Therefore, this chapter intends to decipher the different prospects of sustainable agricultural practices through regulation of strategies associated with soil management, organic carbon and matter, nutrient management, pest reduction, and pesticide application, etc. This chapter is expected to aid the literature by providing a wider scope of view for sustainable agricultural practices.
