Sustainable agriculture strives to produce food in a way that maintains the Health of the land, protects the people who work it, and benefits those who enjoy its abundance.
This program provides an inside look at an organic farm and an organic retail store and discusses the day-to-day challenges and rewards of working in this field. Organic farming includes a wide range of jobs in production, marketing and distribution.

@cpsretartedmuch…..if it weren’t for white people, the entire world would probably be a hole right about now.
What some people …
What some people don’t realize is that for the amount of work that goes into it, the business of food production doesn’t pay very well, most of these people do it because it’s in their family, but alot of farmers are selling off their land, or use money from other businesses to support it because it doesn’t pay for itself anymore. If fertilizers and chemicals weren’t used we would starve, it isn’t the farmer’s fault.
I produce food for …
I produce food for myself and my family and I know it is hard work. That makes me appreciate the producers more and more. Even heavy input highly indusrialized farms are places of some form of environmental stewardship – if we can all recognize that – and the importance of that we can help empower all the producers to happily make changes that EVERYONE benefits from .
It was a sad day …
It was a sad day when a video about sustainable food production sparked agression and hatred.
Producers and consumers (and all those in between) are so intimately linked that it is best (as it is always best) to give each other respect.
It’s scarry that …
It’s scarry that food is such a touch topic for us all. In a healthy community it is the strongest tool for bringing people together. Sharing ideas, successes and failures.
Cheap fertilizer.

Do you mean all the poor neighborhoods all across the USA that is filled with all the diff ppl in the USA? BLESSED.. u don’t sound like you beleive your own name.. moving right along

I sure hate the thought of my produce going to you… And by the way, vegetables don’t get Government subsidies. Few things are as dangerous as ignorance, and you are landmark in that department.

WHAT IS THAT DOG DOING IN THE FIELD!!!! Food safety policies of those evil Industrial farms make us disk areas of fields with dog tracks… and their promotional video has him and the pup walking in the vegetables
Since when did growing food for the 97% of Americans busy tossing rocks at us become evil?

that is very awesome i love this
…they should of …
…they should of been doing this the whole time…interesting. I wonder if greed and government handouts had anything to do with the change from sustainable agriculture to deadly food!
Grow our food and keep your mouth shut…if your food is any good we will continue to buy it, if not…your out of buisness, and rightly so.
It is interesting …
It is interesting to note, that contrary to what you are saying Americans seldom think about how and where there food is being grown.
It is a very small portion of the population that actually is concerned or has the luxery of deciding what to buy and what not to buy…there are subject to what is available at there inner-city or urban grocery store.
It would be refreshing if the produce growers would quit telling us what we are concerned about, and just only grow healthy nontoxic food…

for now, the increase in industrial production is explained by the greater portion of the labor force (and possibly of raw materials if industry and agriculture share some of these) available to industry due to the technological improvements in farming.
However, there is nothing stated that would cause this change to continue. therefore i agree with you that the slope will remain the same, but the line will move upwards by the amount of industrial production gained from the agricultural technology.
