search through journal, Information is the key to innovation and self-sustaining development. It is the vehicle that carries all development efforts in all disciplines of human endeavor. Sustainable agricultural development must have its base on a sustainable information infrastructure and both of them should be viewed equally. This paper looks at some definition of sustainability and from there defines sustainable information management. The systems and infrastructures that have helped in building and providing a continuous information flow to maintain sustainable agriculture development are reviewed. Efforts being made by information professionals to conserve information materials are mentioned and information cooperation in the form of information systems/databases and networks are examined.

The second is related to the emergence in recent years of the concepts of "integration" and "participation" in rural development. Describes and analyzes each of these strategies and the issues they pose.
