Description

Farmers use a variety of advanced technologies, mechanical equipment, science-based data, as well as fertilizers and pesticides to ensure a profitable harvest.

More recently, advances in science have improved agricultural production by leaps and bounds, developing better products and processes that increase harvests while decreasing the negative impact on health and the environment.

Sustainable agriculture, as defined by the USDA, should over the long term, satisfy human needs, enhance environmental quality and natural biological processes, sustain economic viability, and enhance quality of life.

These practices will help us produce healthy food while preserving the environment for future generations.
