Hello Minelle,

In response to your request for a definition of sustainable ag., please see
our newly updated publication, "Sustainable Agriculture: Definitions and
Terms".  It includes several "institutional" definitions, many academic and
personal statements, as well as discussion of the issues and problems
involved in defining sustainable.  There are quotes from many pioneers and
activists in the sustainable ag. field including many people on this list.  

It is on line at http://www.nal.usda.gov/afsic/AFSIC_pubs/srb9902.htm 

The publication is also available in hardcopy, free, on request.  Just let
me know if you would like one (along with your postal address).

Sincerely,
Mary V. Gold

Dear Group,
    I wonder if someone would give me a good definition of sustainable ag.
Thanks,
