      abstract = {An example is developed to show that the loose ideological  definition that describes sustainable agriculture may mask  conflicting objectives. A nebulous definition supports  wider support but also leads to inefficient use of research  and training resources. A popular goal, environmental  quality, is defined in terms of measurable objectives: soil  erosion, pesticide leaching, pesticide runoff, and excess  nitrogen. Restrictions on these environmental pollutants  had very different impacts on profits, and sometimes  restricting one increased another. Greater success in  improving the environment and in research accountability  will be realized as supporters set priories for objectives.  Economists can provide information that will help to set  priories for these objectives.},
