TY - JOUR AU - Auburn, Jill Shore TI - Farming in transition Overview: Society pressures farmers to adopt more sustainable systems JF - California Agriculture JO - Calif Agr Y1 - 1994/09/01 VL - 48 IS - 5 SP - 7 EP - 10 PB - University of California Agriculture and Nature Resources SN - 0008-0845 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.3733/ca.v048n05p7 L3 - 10.3733/ca.v048n05p7 AB - Pressures ranging from government regulation of air, water and food to the often unsympathetic views of an urban populace have put increasing demands on farmers to adopt more sustainable practices. Yet there is no set formula for doing so; the best way to achieve sustainability varies according to region and climate, and in many cases is still under study. UC scientists and farmers are working in partnerships across the state to learn which farming systems are most successful and economically viable.
