Sustainable development is an approach to development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It involves balancing economic, social, and environmental considerations in order to create long-term solutions that promote growth and prosperity while minimizing negative impacts on the planet. Sustainable development, therefore, requires that we use resources in a way that is responsible and ensures their availability for future generations. In rural areas, sustainable development involves promoting economic growth and development while preserving the natural environment and local culture.
