The difficulties these organizations create originate in their antiscience, antitechnology worldview. Thus, while certain groups claim a monopoly on the concept of sustainability, the appropriate question is not whether sustaining resources is desirable, but which purported sustainable techniques work. In agriculture the intellectual position on sustainability is too often romantic and antitechnological. All artificial pesticides are organic. Those who would have humankind live in harmony with nature either don't realize or can't accept the ultimate unattainability of this vague goal.
Technology is simply the tangible application of knowledge.
We are the only mammals that have populated the globe without speciating. All forms of agriculture are technological, and agriculture always interferes with ecology. Land, ores, petroleum, etc. The state of being a resource is a relationship mediated by science and technology between humans and aspects of the environment. We determine what is useful and how to use it.
