The headline is Farm tours demonstrate sustainability in agricultural production systems.
I guess if it said Farm tours demonstrate potentially sustainable agricultural production systems it just wouldn't sound as enticing.
The farms highlighted on the tour are sustainable because they've found profitable niche markets and are operated by savvy entrepreneurs who happen to produce organically, not because organic production systems are sustainable in and of themselves. Can the Ohio Ecological Food & Farm Association say for sure that every one of their member farms is sustainable, or just that they are producing organically? Oh yeah, I forgot that they equate the two.
The event does sound like a great opportunity to learn about Ohio agriculture and enjoy fresh, local, organically-grown foods. Just don't feel guilty about the carbon-offset lost by driving to visit the farm.
