Green Careers: Sustainable Agriculture (clip)

Sustainable agriculture strives to produce food in a way that maintains the health of the land, protects the people who work it, and benefits those who enjoy its abundance.

This program provides an inside look at an organic farm and an organic retail store and discusses the day-to-day challenges and rewards of working in this field. Organic farming includes a wide range of jobs in production, marketing and distribution.

Organic farming is a very competitive business, but for people with an interest in growing food, plus muscle power and brains, it can be a rewarding career. Many people in this industry grew up on farms, but there are also opportunities to start at an entry level and learn the business. It is by definition local, so there are opportunities anywhere, in both rural and urban settings. 22 minutes, color.

Jobs profiled in this program include:
Farm Manager, Retail Sales Manager, Organic Produce Buyer.

Grade Levels: 7 to Adult

I produce food for myself and my family and I know it is hard work. That makes me appreciate the producers more and more. Even heavy input highly indusrialized farms are places of some form of environmental stewardship - if we can all recognize that - and the importance of that we can help empower all the producers to happily make changes that EVERYONE benefits from .

Mr Subhash Palekar in India is saving the lives of planters with his zero budget farming!!!!

He wrote 3 books from the Vedas about agriculture and now there's no need for fertilisers/dangerous pesticides or tractors....search for it

Here in 2012 my appreciation for Agriculture and Farmers is GROWING the more I think of the fact that Farmers *really* make a difference in the lives of people around the world.

Nor is there a Mexican official trying to immigrate workers to the US to support ideas like this. Point is, whatever problems your neurotic mind my tend to gravitate to, they are nothing compared to the crisis this country, and its followers (the majority of other industrialized countries) are chest deep in. We are all part of the problem until we all, as a compassionate unit, stand up and DEMAND change in our govt. Ask more of your elected officials!
