What
is Sustainable Agriculture?
From U.C. Davis: "Agriculture has changed
dramatically, especially since the end of World War II. Food and fiber

use, specialization and government policies that favored maximizing production.
These changes allowed fewer farmers with reduced labor demands to produce
the majority of the food and fiber in the U.S."
