following criteria:

in terms of both quantity and quality,
of present and future generations while
providing a wide variety of agricultural
products;

- Provide permanent employment,
adequate income, and decent living and
working conditions for those engaged in
agricultural production;

- Maintain and enhance the
productive capacity of natural resources
