Sustainable agricultural practices refer to farming methods and management approaches that maintain agricultural productivity while conserving natural resources, reducing negative environmental impacts, and supporting the long-term functioning of agricultural ecosystems  ^[1].These practices integrate ecological processes, resource efficiency, and agricultural management strategies, including soil conservation, biodiversity protection, nutrient management, water use efficiency, and reduced dependence on environmentally harmful inputs ^[2]. Sustainable agricultural practices seek to balance agricultural production objectives with the preservation of ecosystem functions by considering interactions among crops, soils, climate conditions, and biological resources ^[3]. Unlike production approaches focused primarily on immediate productivity goals, sustainable agricultural practices incorporate long-term environmental and resource considerations into farm management decisions ^[1]. Within agricultural and ecological research, the concept provides a framework for evaluating how farming systems respond to climate variability, environmental constraints, and changing resource conditions while maintaining agricultural production capacity ^[4].
