Identifies the three principle aims of sustainable agriculture as economic efficiency, environmental quality and social responsibility and argues that a wholesale switch to organic farming could conflict with these. Suggests that many farming systems can be sustainable, although this is dependent on the use of appropriate management techniques and practices, and calls for government to provide a framework that would allow farmers to adopt such systems.
