Sustainable
Sustainable agriculture encompasses diverse methods of farming and ranching that are more environmentally sound, better for communities and more profitable. Sustainable crops are grown in ways that don’t harm the environment. Typically, cyclical plantings are planned to replenish the soil, thus enhancing the environment in the farming process. Sustainable farming operations support farm workers and farming communities and treat farm animals humanely.
