The need for increased productivity in the Agricultural sector of the Nigerian economy through effective agricultural education of the populace especially the youths’ necessitates that education in agriculture be sustained. Every individual and society strives to improve their economic status by engaging in a self-sustaining activity that is intended to uplift him/her from poverty and hunger. The purpose of this paper is to view sustainable agricultural education as self-sustainable. It also views agricultural education as a continuing educational process, which is geared towards increasing the standard of living of youths and society at large. Purpose problems that inhibit sustainable agricultural education were identified and recommendations to overcome the problems were proffered, if success is to be achieved as outlined in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
