Introduction
Agriculture can be depicted as an act of cultivating the soil, delivering harvests and raising and marketing domesticated animals to differing degrees. Australia's conventional strength in wheat and sheep proceeds into the 21st century (Paull, 2013). As of late, Australian farming has been progressively broadened. The impressive scopes of arable land have assisted Australia with turning into the main world exporter of grains, meats and fleece.
Sustainability is a system of natural cultivating rehearses, which depends on scientific advancements, through which it is feasible to create good food varieties with deference for the farmers' wellbeing and rights, air, land and water (Greenland et al. 2019). This system lays on the rule that we should address the issues of the present without compromising the capacity of people in the future to address their own needs. That is largely an objective of sustainable agriculture, to bring social value, financial advantages and above all to work on environmental wellbeing.
Statement of Problem to be Investigated: Sustainability Challenge Being Addressed
The major issue that questions and arise the need for sustainability in Australia is land degradation. Land degradation is the pollution of soil because of fermentation and salinization. Aside from this, the extension of the water system all through Australia has prompted issues of water quality and rising water tables, contributing towards saltiness (Hunt et al. 2019). Since the results of these types of debasement are regularly seen off-sit, the cropping zone has experienced, draught, a blend of overloading, little property size and helpless appropriation and water. Sustainable agriculture has become important here to be adopted.
Context Setting
The focal job and obligation of the public authority, both State and Commonwealth, in resolving issues of economical farming, especially the question of land debasement, are connected to the way that an enormous segment of Australian land is possessed by the State (Araus, Serret and Lopes, 2019).
As of not long ago, to avoid misuse of properties and resources, an official approach has been built. The Prime Minister of Australia said something on the climate in July 1989, named 'Our nation - Our future' (Pratley and Kirkegaard, 2020). This statement was essential for a significant responsibility by the public authority towards battling land and water debasement and in playing a significant job in creating systems for a supportable asset to the board.
The National Soil Conservation Strategy (NSCS) and The National Tree Program (NTP) was dispatched in 1987 by the Australian Soil Conservation Council as a significant assertion of the way, in which land corruption would be handled in Australia and to moderate and set up trees and associated vegetation for the local area and private advantage all through Australia. A lot more measures have been brought with natural culture.

Problem Framing
Soil salinization has become a significant farming issue that undermines practical advancement objectives identified with food security, agribusiness, asset protection and nourishment. The more elevated levels of saltiness affect soil physical substance, its organic qualities and plant digestion. A convincing arrangement can be tracked down by incorporating conventional and present-day strategies to track down the best reaction to provincially explicit saltiness related issues (Hunt et al. 2019).
Lately, concerns have strengthened about the quality, value, maintainability and versatility of the food policy. Just around 33% surprisingly on Earth are eating a solid eating routine. The food system is the considerable consumer and polluter of land and water, the greatest driver of living space and biodiversity misfortune and on target to be the greatest producer of greenhouse substances (McDougall, Kristiansen and Rader, 2019).
The new rise of a novel Covid and the resultant COVID-19 pandemic has additionally featured the fundamental dangers to human wellbeing from current food creation and distribution frameworks. Instructions to create more, better and more secure food, substantially more productively and economically, in more troublesome environments and how to share it all the more impartially, is an existential challenge for the Agricultural industry in Australia (Gonzalez et al. 2020).
The significance of this research is that it could be taken place to address the six major aims
· Salinity control, including groundwater discharge, tree planting and irrigation strategies
· Crop, soil and water management for the southeast wheat belt
· Management of rangelands for sustainability and restoration
· Land...
