“…The von Carlowitz concept was redefined several times, one of these being the Brundtland report in 1987, also known as "Our common future" [32]. The Brundtland report focused on sustainability's three main sections: the environment, the economy, and society (equity) [33]; more particularly, it directs us to our population's economic growth and the life cycle of our goods [34].…”

Focusing on new food production methods and sustainable pillars’ accomplishments has changed the definition of sustainable pillars themselves. Moreover, some general characteristics of the main pillars can be redefined in separate dimensions to better explain their positive sustainable impacts. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to redefine the sustainable pillars linked to food production and review the most important cultural and technological sustainability impacts they have, in addition to the three classic pillars: economic, social, and environmental sustainability. Cultural and technological sustainability are increasingly important complements to the traditional sustainability concept. Furthermore, new food production technologies and systems are influenced by ancient production methods, as well as by profitable crop selection. Traditional agricultural and aquaculture production in relation to more recent aquaponic production concepts are still a major part of global food security, but the better usage of waste materials or residues generates a more favorable agroecological impact. In conclusion, constantly redefining the sustainable pillars in the context of sustainable food production methods and proving the viability of their general production impacts is important.

“…The most widely cited definition of sustainability comes from the World Commission on Human and Environment Development (1987, ES-7) commonly known as the Brundtland Report: the ability to "meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. " This definition sees sustainability as existing at the nexus of the environment (protection of water, soil, air, and ecosystems), economy (economic development and greening of industries and businesses), and equity (environmental justice and reduction of social disparities) known as the three-pillar model (Niesenbaum, 2019;Brinkmann, 2021). This model led to intergovernmental programs such as the Millennium Development Goals and the Sustainable Development Goals to advance global sustainability.…”

Woody biomass energy has exponentially grown in the last decade as a renewable energy alternative to fossil fuels. The growing trend of burning trees amid global climate crisis suggests that the wood pellet industry has been grossly successful in positioning itself as a sustainability leader. What communicative frames and strategies has the industry harnessed to communicate sustainability? What do the frames and strategies leave out? To explore those questions, this paper examines the woody biomass industry’s construction of sustainability by focusing on the case of the world’s largest wood pellet company, Enviva. Following ecolinguistics and framing theory, the first part of the paper examines the company’s website and social media presence to unpack the frames that Enviva engages to communicate its sustainability. Then, the paper turns to the spheres of life that the company omits from its framing but are crucial to the conceptualization of sustainability from an ecojustice perspective. The paper concludes with a call for ecojustice as the framework for evaluating sustainability of life on land.
