This is the best agricultural education resource for high school audiences
that we've reviewed. "From the Ground Up" (en francais "Vert la
croissance...") is a 29 minute video that immerses viewers in discussions
about what is sustainable agriculture. 

Farmers and ecologists highlight critical issues, such as soil erosion,
nutrient cycles and chemical pest management. Skillful editing links these
concerns to the larger issue of sustainability. The teacher's guide offers
an effective range of introductory, developmental, and concluding
activities to extend the learning.
