The objective of this research is to identify the level of knowledge of farmers in some sustainable farming practices, identifying bilateral and multiple relationships between studied independent variables and each of sustainable farming practices, as well as identify the most contributing variables in explaining the disparity in sustainable farming practices. Research was conducted on a regular random sample of 121 respondents representing 15% of the total registered farmers in the agricultural association in the village of Bakloula, and the data were collected during June and July 2020. Main research results: 1- The results showed that a high level of knowledge of the respondents for all studied parameters except for 51.2%, 44.6% of the respondents with an average knowledge level of both practices of the use of vital and organic fertilizers, and the use of integrated control in the elimination of agricultural pests, respectively. 2- Independent variables studied was used to explain total variation in the degree of knowledge of the respondents in each of the practices of maintaining the different studied parameters 3- The age variable contributes a unique significant contribution to the interpretation of the disparity in six dimensions of sustainable agriculture, and the variable communication with the agents of change contributes a unique significant contribution to the interpretation of the disparity in five dimensions of sustainable agriculture, while both the variables of agricultural regeneration and urban openness contribute a unique significant contribution in explaining the disparity in three dimensions of sustainable agriculture.
