Agriculture is the primary source of livelihood for about 58 per cent of India's population. Globally\, increasing demand for agricult ural products often contradicts the goal of environmental protection. The successful achievement of food security has resulted in severe damages to the environment\, affecting the landscape\, water\, nutrients\, biodiversi ty\, etc. The relationship between agriculture and environment could be vi ewed as conflicting (win-lose) or as synergistic (win-win). Balancing the agriculture—-environment nexus is one of the existing greatest global ch allenges. Efficient and ecosystem-friendly cropping systems are increasing ly studied with the goal of improving water-use efficiency and nutrient ma nagement. Yet greater efforts are required to advance the sustainability o f agricultural production\, including technology advancement\, such as gen etically modified Crops\, institutional innovations regarding land tenure\ , and policy adjustments to encourage adoption of conservational practices . Further\, we need to paid more attention on emerging issues like coping with increasing impact of climate change on agriculture and environment es pecially accelerating the implementation of Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA )\, sustainable agricultural practices\, utilization of renewable energy r esources\, need to protect and restore ecosystems and promotion of sustain able industrialization.
\nNew forms of agriculture are needed that su pport a wide range of environmental services\, are resilient to climatic a nd other external shocks\, and are ecologically efficient in use of resour ces. To meet this challenge new science\, new partnerships and modes of co llaboration\, and improved innovation systems will be needed. Hence\, the proposed 4” National Conference on “Frontiers in Ecobiological Science s and its Applications (FESA— 2019) Theme: Agriculture\, Ecosystems and Environment” focus on the role of biological and environmental research and its technological advancements which will help to attain the 17 Sustai nable Development Goals (SDGs) proposed by United Nations in terms of incr eases in crop and livestock production to meet demand of more than 9 billi on people by 2050. It also serves as a good platform for the young student s and researchers' academicians\, industrialists\, policy makers\, governm ent\, and non-government organizations to participate and come out with no vel ideas for sustainable development.
