\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\small{
 Environmentally sustainable agricultural practices are integral to the policies and practices to  realise sustainable development goals. The anchoring roles of fair trade and organic cultivation in building community"=level environmental stewardship as well as livelihood security  are reported from several parts of the world. However, organic production and fair trade of  food materials by the resource dependent communities in forested landscapes surrounded by protected areas entail  multiple challenges such as requirements of sustainability, the long"=term viability of local biodiversity values and potentials, availability of  options for socio"=economic , political development of the local communities, etc,. The context therefore,  calls for a synergistic integration of a spectrum of social, economic, ecological, institutional/political factors to  build as well as to promote a sustainable base for production chains. The major dimensions that play  critical roles in realising the dynamics in such  production process are ecological knowledge, sustainable farming skills, economic viability, equity, institutional support/role  of agencies etc,. However, policy positions and discourses for integrating food production, environment, and poverty reduction goals,   biodiversity conservation, wildlife and ecosystem services in such landscapes are still evolving in different parts of the world. In this context, we have analysed the  roles of fair trade as well as agencies/institutions in shaping eco"=farming by the indigenous communities in the forested landscape in the  Periyar Tiger Reserve in Kerala State, India to understand the dynamics of factors contributing to sustainable agriculture.  We observed that organic farming can  meet the requirements of eco"=farming when challenges of sustainability are addressed at  the landscape level along with equity and inclusivity in value chain development.  We consider that the empirical evidence generated by the study validates the requirements of  a much needed integrated policy for combining the synergy of nature conservation and sustainable  agriculture for improved livelihood development  and observed that fair trade and institutions play potential roles in realising that synergy.  The case evidence depicts an encouraging scenario since, development and implementation of  an integrated policy reconciling the development needs of indigenous communities, food security and livelihood protection whilst conserving  wildlife and biodiversity resources in protected area landscapes, on ground, remains a major undertaking. }
