There are many definitions of sustainable development, including "economic development that is conducted without depletion of natural resources", and this landmark one which first appeared in 1987: "Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." — from the World Commission on Environment and Development’s (the Brundtland Commission) report Our Common Future (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1987).
Here at AgriSmart, we like to think about sustainable development as mindful business that thinks larger than ourselves, seeking the advantageous for all people, creatures, future generations, and our planet.
