>"Sustainability is a question rather than an answer," as the late Robert
>Rodale was fond of saying. Sustainability is a direction rather than a
>destination, like a star that guides the ships at sea but remains forever
>beyond the horizon. The "question of sustainability" can be asked of any
>ongoing activity or process. It can be asked of "conventional" agriculture
>and of any proposed "alternative" agriculture: Is it sustainable? Is it
>moving toward the goal of sustainability?
