Sustainable and organic agriculture is at the heart of all these issues and can serve as a viable and productive solution for a more sustainable future. As consumer demand for better food outpaces supply, increasing numbers of small-scale sustainable farmers – young and old – are coming onto the scene to meet the need.
The benefits of a shift toward sustainable agriculture include:
• protecting the environment by moving away from an industrialized, central food system heavily reliant on fossil fuels;
• providing healthier food to the community and combating obesity and diabetes;
• bolstering local economies by keeping revenue and jobs local;
• building community around a most fundamental need – food.
