Workgroup issue paper: Indicators and assessment of agricultural sustainability : Methods of Assessing Agricultural Sustainability.
Sustainability is emerging as one of the most fundamental concepts for assessing the overall state of an agricultural production system. Essentially, this concept assumes that if a production system is sustainable indefinitely, then it is acceptable. But almost any system is sustainable if sufficient resources are committed to it! So it's obvious that an uncritical adoption of the idea is not acceptable.
