In 1990, Congress established Sustainable Agriculture (SA) as a comprehensive approach to farming that combines plant and animal production methods tailored to specific locations. This system aims to achieve long-term goals including: meeting humanity's food and textile requirements, improving environmental health and conserving natural resources essential for agricultural sustainability, optimizing the use of finite resources while incorporating natural biological processes when suitable, maintaining farm and ranch profitability, and improving living standards for agricultural workers and communities (Title XVI, Subtitle A, Food, Agriculture, Conservation and Trade Act of 1990).
