Agriculture is a crucial economic sector for food production. Uncontrolled and poorly planned agricultural activities can contribute to significant climate change. Therefore, this study aims to identify sustainable farming practices that align with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13, which focuses on reducing the impact of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. The research findings indicate that sustainable agricultural practices such as the use of organic fertilizers, recycling materials, and renewable energy can mitigate climate change. Additionally, research and development efforts related to seeds, irrigation systems, and soil can enhance crop resilience to climate change. The National Transformation Program (2013-2025) has recognized the importance of sustainable development and has incorporated it into its policies and strategies. Hence, further research on how to incorporate sustainable development goals into educational curricula is essential.
