An Integrated Sustainable Vegetable Production System

Sustainable agriculture means many things to many people. To environmentalists the term may mean protection and/or renewal of agricultural-natural resources. To growers and consumers of organic food products, the term means producing foodstuffs without chemical inputs. Other terms-regenerative, low-input, alternative, renewable, organic-have been used synonymously for sustainable. This illustrates existing confusion. Whether conventional or sustainable, profit remains an integral part of the picture for agricultural industry to survive.
