My own definition of Sustainable Agriculture:
 A way of producing food that cares for and improves the environment, people's lives, and the economy in the long term. ]]> 2022-10-18 18:09:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rdvorak1/8zsuv22mmazmnof5/wish/2345663618 https://padlet.com/rdvorak1/8zsuv22mmazmnof5/wish/2345666185 In many countries growing there own food is very difficult because of unpredictable climate and drought. if your growing a cool climate crop and a unpredictable heat wave comes in than those crops are going to die.

Urbanization is caused due to people migrating from a rural area into an urban area for economic success resulting in this being an economic issue first and foremost.

Sustainable Agriculture can be defined, in my opinion, as a process in which a farmer can maintain health of their herd, crops, or soil in a economically friendly and beneficial way. ]]> 2022-10-18 18:12:04 UTC https://padlet.com/rdvorak1/8zsuv22mmazmnof5/wish/2345668267 scammaccaa25 https://padlet.com/rdvorak1/8zsuv22mmazmnof5/wish/2345668323 I have water pollution as my challenge, and water pollution affects society because water is an everyday necessity we need.

During the 1st industrial revolution farmers increasingly declined due to the shift in economical wealth from farming to factory employees. This is still very similar to today's society with farmers being under paid and not receiving their fair share of the crops they grew. Urbanization is the process by which a rural land is taken up to build housing, making it more urban. ]]> 2022-10-18 18:19:00 UTC https://padlet.com/rdvorak1/8zsuv22mmazmnof5/wish/2345679897 https://padlet.com/rdvorak1/8zsuv22mmazmnof5/wish/2345681320 My definition of sustainable agriculture is to take care of your natural resources and produce products that are beneficial to the environment, the consumers, and the farmers. ]]> 2022-10-18 18:19:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rdvorak1/8zsuv22mmazmnof5/wish/2345681320 hopkinse25 https://padlet.com/rdvorak1/8zsuv22mmazmnof5/wish/2345682401 My definition of sustainable ag is The way plants and crops are grown efficiently, viably, under good control, and high quality products, then make sure they go to good places.]]> 2022-10-18 18:20:32 UTC https://padlet.com/rdvorak1/8zsuv22mmazmnof5/wish/2345682401 https://padlet.com/rdvorak1/8zsuv22mmazmnof5/wish/2345683858 Sustainable Ag is when farmers can produce high quality food that's not only good for you but is also harmless to the land and environment, so it doesn't pollute our air or soil. ]]> 2022-10-18 18:21:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rdvorak1/8zsuv22mmazmnof5/wish/2345683858 scammaccaa25 https://padlet.com/rdvorak1/8zsuv22mmazmnof5/wish/2345684305 My definition of sustainable agriculture is a food system that doesn't harm our environment/our health.
