Sustainable agriculture means producing food in a way that preserves the environment on the farm and beyond, supports healthy communities and protects the health and welfare of farmed animals.
Supporting a sustainable food system ensures an abundant and healthy food supply for generations to come.
Sadly, many agricultural operations throughout Maryland do not practice sustainable farming--endangering the environment and our families' health and welfare.
Enough is enough.
As consumers, we have the power to choose food from farmers who are responsible stewards of our natural resources, rather than those who overlook smart and safe farm practices.
To support sustainable farming, you can buy from your local farmers market, community supported agriculture (CSA) and look for USDA-certified organic labels at the grocery store to ensure your food is grown responsibly.
And you can sign our pledge to be a conscious consumer who supports agriculture that is truly sustainable. Together we can ensure a healthy food system for future generations.
