The findings of the study revealed that high cost of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, lack of agricultural credit facility, lack of knowledge about fertilizer management, unavailability of fertilizers on time, lack of information about government schemes, lack of irrigation facility, non-availability of water storage tank, lack of awareness about rainwater harvesting technique, perceive increase temperature, increases the risk of diseases and pest due to climate change pattern, irregular rainfall and rising temperature felt reduction of crop yield, sale of agricultural product through middleman and non availability of direct market facility were the major problems faced by the majority of farmers in sustainable rice cultivation. In industrialized Asia, food waste makes up more than one fourth (28%) of the global amount. Soc Nat Resour An Int J, Douglass GK (1984) Agricultural sustainability in a changing world.
