Definitions of sustainable agriculture -

At a conference on the topic in Ohio in 1988, Bob Rodale
said:  It is a question.  He was quoted several times on that
definition during the remainder of the conference!  Check on the 
book *Sustainable Agricultural Systems*, edited by Clive Edwards,
Patrick Madden and others.  Rodale's presentation is one of many
chapters - (and I found the quote:  ". . . sustainability is not
basically a method; rather it is a question about permanence.")

The book was available from SWCS, 7515 N.E. Ankeny Road,
Ankeny, IA  50021-9764 for $40.  Hardcover, 696 pages.
