AB  - United nation sustainable development goal two (UNSDG-2) aims to achieve the 
      eradication of hunger along with the assurance of food security for all by 2030. 
      This cannot be achieved without combining all forms of sciences including 
      mathematics and statistics with agriculture practice to make agriculture 
      sustainable. Agriculture has been considered the backbone of the economic systems 
      of developing and developed countries. However, while practicing the activities, 
      various conflicting issues incorporate and make the situation challenging for the 
      agriculture industry in the decision-making process. Multi-criteria 
      decision-making (MCDM) techniques can provide the optimal solution and they have 
      proved to be viable in various complex decision-making problems of the real world 
      like agriculture-related decision-making problems. They can help to find a 
      suitable alternative for a particular complex situation.  The analytical 
      hierarchy process (AHP); a globally accepted method; has been a winning arc of 
      the MCDM techniques. This article specifically reviews the application of AHP in 
      various agriculture-related problems, the models used, the data sources used, and 
      the overall precision attained using the different performance criteria of the 
      past few years.
