    Extractions: What is sustainable development? Two centuries of industrial development have made life better for many people in ways that would have been unimaginable even a generation ago. But it has also brought increasing damage to the physical systems and social fabric on which our well-being depends. It is clear we cannot continue in this way indefinitely. Indeed the call for a change of direction is urgent. What we need now is a different kind of development, one which meets people’s needs without compromising our future. For this to be sustainable, we must take full account of the social, economic and environmental impacts of our decisions, over the long term. Defining sustainable development The SDC's principles for sustainable development So what is the Sustainable Development Commission? Our work programme: April 2001 - 2003 Sustainable development provides a framework for redefining progress and redirecting our economies to enable all people to meet their basic needs and improve their quality of life, while ensuring that the natural systems, resources and diversity upon which they depend are maintained and enhanced both for their benefit and for that of future generations. Sustainable development is inevitably a contested idea, dependent of finding the right balance between different and often conflicting objectives through much more integrated policy-making and planning processes. Putting its principles into practice demands debate, experimentation and continuous learning, and therefore requires a thriving democracy to allow it to evolve and flourish.

The Sustainable Development Commission (SDC) is the Government's independent advisor on sustainable development, reporting directly to the Prime Minister and the First Ministers of the devolved administrations. The Commission's role is to advocate sustainable development across all sectors in the UK, review progress towards it, and build consensus on the actions needed if further progress is to be achieved. Our mission is to inspire government, the economy and society to embrace sustainable development as the central organising principle. 2. Our work programme comprises five main work streams, one of which is Food and Farming. As part of the Food and Farming work stream, we are exploring how food procurement and supply chains can be made more sustainable. We have undertaken a short project to investigate the sustainability of supply chains for a specific product, sugar.
