Abstract
The Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture was established in the 1987 Groundwater Protection Act. CH. 225, Sec. 230. The legislation defines sustainable agriculture as "the appropriate use of crop and livestock systems and agricultural inputs supporting those activities which maintain economic and social viability while preserving the high productivity and quality of Iowa's land."
