“We need to be guided by a bold vision for the future, and by a true commitment to sustainability. The key to this vision would be a transformation to sustainable agriculture as part of a sustainable economy. We need to ensure the production of healthy food while:

– restoring and preserving natural resources so that future generations can meet their needs

– improving the quality of the land (by increasing soil organic matter, and by reducing its pesticide and nitrate content)

– withdrawing no resources that cannot be replenished (e.g. fossil fuels)

– protecting the social and economic conditions of our farmers, and the health of our communities.”
