This paper refers some 30 indicators. These indicators will be useful for predicting the trend (sustainability/unsustainability) of agriculture and take possible means and ways in advance for arresting the trend in the area which is still free from unsustainability besides reversing the unsustainability trend in "hot spots". Therefore indicators carry some strong practical value to policy makers, planners and also to researchers not only in this Hindu Kush-Himalayan Region but also in other mountain region. Lastly, the development of these indicators has also contributed in sharpening the conceptual work regarding sustainability of mountain agriculture or farming system. This paper is based on four case studies commissioned by ICI MOD, conducted one each in China, India, Nepal and Pakistan
