sustainable agriculture


Explanation:
That's what I think it is.

Here the three links I used to reach my conclusion. By the way, I did use "campesina" instead of "campina" since "campina" made no sense:

http://base.d-p-h.info/fr/fiches/premierdph/fiche-premierdph...
http://www.confederationpaysanne.fr/index.php?rubrique_id=15
http://www.sarep.ucdavis.edu/concept.htm

So it was more like a "deducción" than a translation.

Oh, and sorry for not posting the links right away but I had to pick up my daughter at school. :-)

A link that kind of links agricultura campesina with sustainable agriculture. (see "Subject")

--------------------------------------------------

Well, my final conclusion is that there is a strong link between agricultura familiar and agricultura campesina and the difference is that the campesina has "sustainable features" so I correct my answer to:

"sustainable family agriculture"

Thank you.

Another possibility, to avoid repetition with the "family agriculture" that comes before in the text, is to use "sustainable local agriculture".

That's an important piece of information. It should be something then in these lines, rural agriculture or local agriculture. I'm not sure either, now that you gave further context. :-)

Well, found "peasant agriculture":
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org....

that seems to be a nice alternative, since you have so many "kinds of agriculture' to name.

I rest the case now. :-)

Notes to answerer
Asker: I really appreciate your input and the time you have taken to research this. My problem is that further into the document both terms appear. 'agricultura sostenible' and 'agricultura campesina'... I think it is referring to rural agriculture... not completely sure. Thanks again!

  -> Based on a translation to French that I found, in an article, and then I used the French term to find its English equivalent (in another article).

neutral  kleiner Kater: It'd be great if you could post the link to the translation you found and/or the French term. :)

  -> Yes, as explained above, it is a "deducción", that's why I used confidence level 3.
