List some of the components of a sustainable agriculture
What will be an ideal response?
A sustainable agriculture should maintain the soil, water, and air resources for future generations. Farming practices should be in harmony with nature and facilitate ecosystem services. Earth's land resource is not infinite; farmers should be stewards of the land with the goal to pass this resource on to future generations. Likewise, a sustainable agriculture should not degrade water and air resources. Agriculture may have a role in the remediation of degraded soil, air, and water.
Sustainable agriculture should be accountable and profitable in the production of food, fiber, or energy to meet societal needs. Sustainable farming is a critical occupation for the future of our societies. It should therefore be profitable for farmers who are good stewards of the land. A sustainable agriculture should be economically accountable for the consequences of environmental degradation.
