Sustainability is a broad term that’s important to just about every industry today, from businesses to technology to social and environmental sciences. According to Merriam-Webster, sustainable generally means “capable of being sustained.” In the case of sustainable farming, it’s defined as “of, relating to, or being a method of harvesting or using a resource so that the resource is not depleted or permanently damaged.”

The fact is, farmers have been thinking about sustainability for a long time. The dozens of farmers I’ve met all have a passion for caring for their land, wildlife, air, and water. They view sustainability as producing crops and livestock in an efficient way that preserves the environment while maintaining the well-being of their animals, land, families, and the community around them. This is done in part by using advanced specialized veterinary healthcare, genetic technology, and advanced nutrition for plant crops and animal production.
