    Sustainable agriculture involves practices that do not harm the environment, maintain soil fertility, and promote biodiversity. Use of biological pest control (B), integrated soil fertility management (C), and the application of organic fertilizers (D) all contribute to sustainable agricultural practices. Biological pest control utilizes natural predators to manage pest populations, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. Integrated soil fertility management combines organic and inorganic inputs with knowledge of soil science to enhance soil health and productivity. Organic fertilizers improve soil structure and fertility without the adverse effects of chemical inputs.
