The sustainable evaluation within systems theory should have objectives for defining the boundaries of sustainable systems and use system properties or system behavior to explain the relation between sub-systems or components in the system. Thus, scholars should consider the function and interaction of sub-systems in order to provide an accurate analysis and reach an understanding of sustainable agriculture. Sustainable agriculture is one system with a multi-dimensional perspective, and we should therefore use the systems approach in analysis.
