Abstract The main challenge facing the international community today is to sustain and accelerate the process of poverty eradication and ensure food and energy security, particularly to developing countries while shifting gradually to a Green Economy. Agriculture is an important part of the green economy as a motor of rural development and plays a critical role in determining food, water, ecological and livelihood security. Integrating the strategies and policies for a green economy into agriculture has to proceed with an absolute imperative of ensuring these and not forgetting the differentiated needs of subsistence agriculture and market oriented crops. Developing countries can only build a green economy by adopting “ Profound policy reforms” to transform small – scale agriculture, which provides livelihoods for 2.6 billion people in the developing world, will play a major role in supplying the extra 70% of food and fodder needed to meet the needs of a growing global population. The aim of this paper is to study green economy and inclusive growth in developing countries and also discuss role of agriculture in the green economy.
