"The only truly dependable production
technologies are those that are sustainable over the
long term. By that very definition, they must avoid
erosion, pollution, environmental degradation, and
resource waste. Any rational food-production system
will emphasize the well-being of the soil-air-water
biosphere, the creatures which inhabit it, and the
human beings who depend upon it."
