Infrastructural Facilities for Sustainable Agriculture

Agricultural infrastructural facilities include irrigation facilities, the availability and use of fertilizers, including organic manure, availability and use of suitable seeds, and innovation in plowing fields. This chapter examines infrastructural facilities for sustainable agriculture in the Central Himalaya. This region practices agriculture through traditional methods. The use of modern innovation in the croplands is limited. On the other hand, in the mountainous region, modern innovation in agriculture is not suitable, such as the use of chemical fertilizers because agriculture is rainfed. Although organic manure is used, its availability is limited. Seeds are traditional. This study reveals that the use of modern innovation in croplands, taking climate, terrain, and the level of irrigation into account, will lead to sustainable agriculture.
