“Sustainable agriculture means an integrated system of plant and animal
production practices having a site-specific application that over the long term will:
• Satisfy human food and fiber needs.
• Enhance environmental quality and the natural resource base upon which
the agricultural economy depends.
• Make the most efficient use of nonrenewable resources and on-farm
resources and integrate, where appropriate, natural biological cycles and
controls.
• Sustain the economic viability of farm operations.
• Enhance the quality of life for farmers and society as a whole.”
