Abstract

Food sustainability is here taken to be a subset of agricultural sustainability. An agricultural system can be said to be sustainable if it can continue to meet demand for food (and fiber) indefinitely while incurring farm-level economic and environmental costs that societies find acceptable, and if it also meets some broad socially agreed equity criteria, including especially intergenerational equity.
