@earthworm @MrLee although ecologically sustainable agriculture can and does exist, the industry as a whole uses its promise and potential to deflect attention from the fact that the bulk of what they do is not sustainable. A lot of enthusiastic sustainable agriculture practitioners help them in this respect by focusing on "but you can graze sheep sustainably" etc, not the more important point that most farms still do not.

@bencourtice @earthworm @MrLee 'sustainable' is a word that can mean just about anything. There are 13 different definitions. When barnaby joyce uses it for instance he means 'economically profitable' Bureaucrats and politicians consequently love using the word.
