"Without agriculture, civilization is not possible.
"It is the bounty of agriculture that is the foundation upon which civilization is built - the food, fiber, building materials and medicinals that agriculture can provide. But current agriculture is flawed - it is unsustainable. It destroys the soil, defiles the water and air, and disrupts the critical dynamic balance of natural systems upon which all life on earth depends.
If human civilization is to survive, we must develop a sustainable agriculture, and we must do it in this generation."
