The short answer is that sustainability is a goal, but has no specific
standards or requirements to define what is and what isn't. Organic is a
specific set of practices that aim at sustainability. In 1994 we drafted a
statement of principles for organic production entitled "Moving Towards
Sustainability," which I would be happy to forward to anyone
electronically.
