Sustainable development is development that takes place without reducing the environmental quality around us. That is, economic development at present without compromising environment quality for the future generations.
The policy for sustainable development was framed as a part of the Agenda 21 in the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. The salient features of sustainable development are outlined below:
-Natural resources should be used in a sensible manner
-Use of natural resources should not harm the environment

It is a research based organization that delivers scientific advice and management practices that support sustainable growth and agricultural biodiversity.

These measures can help us to cope with the climatic changes and help to somewhat reverse it.
