**SCOPE**
Environmental health, economic profitability, and equity are                 the goals of sustainable agriculture. The following concepts are                 integral to sustainable agriculture: understanding of the interrelationship                 between air, water, and soil; the need to provide farmer and consumer                 safety; and the commitment to a stewardship of the land. The movement                 for sustainable agriculture addresses many social and environmental                 concerns, in addition to promoting innovative and economically                 viable farming methods such as crop diversification and biological                 pest control. Sustainable agriculture brings together such aspects                 of agricultural science as pest management, soil and water conservation,                 food safety, and animal welfare. Although many use the term "sustainable agriculture” to define the movement or                 system, other terms often used include "agroecology,”                 "agrobiodiversity,” "alternative agriculture,”                 "alternative farming,” "biodynamic,”                 "low-input agriculture,” "natural                 farming,” "organic farming,” "permaculture,”                 and/or "regenerative agriculture.” Not intended                 to be a comprehensive bibliography, this guide is designed, as                 the name of the series implies, to put the reader "on                 target.”
