Properties of sustainable systems

1. Sustainable systems are equitable.

2. Sustainable systems are efficient.

3. Sustainable systems are flexible.

4. Sustainable systems are principally self-sufficient. Use of locally available labour, soil, water, energy, etc. makes them less vulnerable to import embargoes and other critical factors.

6. Sustainable systems and society’s institutions are consistent.
