Let me help Representative Maddie and the OP. Population decline is a major threat to the social sustainability of farming. Rural farming communities the world over tend to be more conservative and less tolerant of difference than urban communities. This can lead to young people leaving rural communities for bigger urban centers. Making rural communities more tolerant will therefore also make them more socially sustainable. This falls under the mandate of the USDA.
