"Sustainable agriculture" is both a term and a concept whose definition has varied a great deal. As articulated in the 1990 "Farm Bill" Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990, P.L. 101-624, Title XVI, Subtitle A, Section 1603) sustainable agriculture means "an integrated system of plant and animal production practices having a site-specific application that will, over the long term: (A) satisfy human food and fiber needs; (B) enhance environmental quality and the natural resource base upon which the agricultural economy depends; (C) make the most efficient use of nonrenewable resources and on-farm resources and integrate, where appropriate, natural biological cycles and controls; (D) sustain the economic viability of farm operations; and (E) enhance the quality of life for farmers and society as a whole."
As with sustainable agriculture, the term biotechnology has a multitude of definitions. USDA has defined biotechnology as "the use of living organisms, cells, subcellular organelles and/or parts of those structures, as well as the molecules, to effect biological, chemical or physical changes." (Solving Agricultural Problems with Biotechnology. [Washington, D.C.]: U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Jan. 1990. Program Aid 1445) Using this loose definition, many farming practices, from plant breeding to animal husbandry, would be considered as utilizing biotechnology. Today, the term is used more frequently to describe the use of molecular biology and recombinant DNA technology to produce plants and animals with novel traits.
A range of crops and agricultural products have been produced using the molecular tools of biotechnology and are beginning to be utilized in agricultural systems in the United States. At the same time, an increasing number of farmers are adopting sustainable cultural practices. Are these two developments compatible with each other? Biotechnology has the potential to assist farmers in reducing on-farm chemical inputs and produce value-added commodities. Conversely, there are concerns about the use of biotechnology in agricultural systems including the possibility that it may lead to greater farmer dependence on the providers of the new technology. Where these two new developments will lead American agriculture is open for debate.
This Special Reference Brief has been prepared jointly by the Biotechnology Information Center and the Alternative Farming Systems Information Center to provide an introduction to the literature and debate surrounding the use of biotechnology in sustainable farming systems. While not an exhaustive search of the literature, its purpose is to serve as a foundation upon which to build as the dialogue continues in the future. As an increasing number of "biotech" crops are made available for production and consumption, the dialogue will engage policy makers, researchers, farmers, ethicists and consumers. For meaningful discussions to occur, an appreciation of the many viewpoints held on the impact of biotechnology on the structure of agriculture is essential.
The scope of literature covered is fairly broad and includes the impact of biotechnology on technical deployment of alternative control methods, e.g. biocontrol and integrated pest management (IPM), as well as the cultural and sociological issues surrounding the changes that this new technology might bring to agriculture. Since agriculture is a global enterprise, many of the articles focus on the international arena where questions remain on the role of biotechnology in sustainable development in developing countries. Most of the papers included have been written within the past 7 years, althugh several earlier important works have been included. Several bibliographic databases, including Agricola and CAB Abstracts were used to locate appropriate citations. The vast majority of the items are in the National Agricultural Library's collection (as indicated by the NAL call number accompanying each citation). Items designated as being working tools are part of the Biotechnology Information Center's collection and are available by contacting the Center.
