The SFA Board of Directors has approved the USDA Legal Definition of Sustainable Agriculture as SFA's official definition. The USDA definition reads:

The term "sustainable agriculture" (U.S. Code Title 7, Section 3103) means an integrated system of plant and animal production practices having a site-specific application that will over the long-term:

  • Satisfy human food and fiber needs.

  • Enhance environmental quality and the natural resource base upon which the agriculture 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.
