What is sustainable agriculture?

Pasa has always taken an inclusive approach to defining sustainability. 

Making ecologically conscious decisions looks different for every farm and every farmer. For some it means reducing tillage, for others it’s obtaining organic certification. For some it means planting trees, for others it’s writing a business plan that balances people, profit, and planet.

Our community understands that stewarding our land, water, and air, is only part of the equation. For agriculture to truly sustain us, everyone needs access to affordable, nourishing food. The people who grow, raise, and harvest food need to be able to earn a living and be treated with dignity. And anyone who wants to farm needs access to land and resources to do so.
