OK sustainability goes further than just taking care of the soil.
Lets look at seed. You buy seed that won't grow a subsequent crop. (I know it's not going to happen) The seed companies all fail for what ever reason. What are you planting the next year.

They are claiming that organic material, manure, crop residue ECT needs to be put into the soil as well as any needed chemical fertilizers. Rotational grazing or some other method of taking care of the soil in a pasture. Raising animals instead of buying feeders because if the market for feeders drys up.
