Abstract
Sustainable agriculture is an approach of agriculture which focuses on the production food products to mediate the food supply to the human and animal without any harm of environment. Sustainable agriculture along with balanced nutrition in rural people is very challenging due various factors influencing to fulfill in rural areas throughout the world. The challenge of sustainable agriculture for rural development is urbanization in countryside, low economy in rural people, lagging of service provision, disaster, etc. Besides, in rural region, nutrition of food they consume is not well balanced due to poor income. Hence, nutritive value with sustainable agriculture integrated with rural people is very much needed to improve them in socioeconomic status. In this review, the integrated management of sustainable food productivity, utilization with nutrition to improve the rural development in sustainable manner, has been discussed.
