The Benefits Of Sustainable Agriculture

Now more than ever we are learning about the importance of sustainable agriculture and it’s role in our society. Since the industrialization of commercial food production, it seems as though our food supply has veered farther off course over the years. Aside from the health risks posed by processed foods, there is great environmental impact as well. Runoff from production facilities, excessive waste, energy depletion, and large carbon footprint are just some of the threats our planet is up against. It’s vital for people to know that there are other options to source food from, and you don’t have to solely rely upon irresponsible mega food producers.

Sustainable agriculture has been defined as an integrated system of plant and animal production practices having a site-specific application that will last over the long term. Sustainability encompasses several aspects, each being integral pieces of a collective whole. Sustainable agriculture should satisfy the food and fiber requirements of people while enhancing the environment and the life of farmers and the community. Non renewable resources should be used in the most efficient form possible and natural processes used when possible. Food that comes from sustainable sources is free of harmful chemicals and additives and is the most true to it’s natural form. Sustainability provides benefits for the environment, farmers, people, and community, all by working together.
