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 direct link to purchase the DVD: www.phoenixlearninggroup.com

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!

correct me if I am wrong, but isnt the video showing exactly WHO is doing WHAT work? I mean I know you had the urge to bust on this guy but it is people like him and farmer collectives like this that are our only change to decomission the corporate structure that seems to be status quo! I am a Native American (Lakota Sioux), and I get the bit about the stolen land … but let me tell you something: There is not a committe of tribes in the U.S. doing anything like this.

“farmer” talking in the background about “i do… i do… i do” as his (likely low wage) seasonal farm workers do all the *actual* labor on land stollen from their ancestors. i wish his “niche market” deeply understood this reality, and the insignificance of their purchasing choice among so much social/environmental inequity and food injustice.

Animals are property! Never ever give money to Humane Society of the United States, ASPCA, etc.. They use rare cases of poorly kept pets to tug on your heartstrings for money. They then use that money to OUTLAW animal use in any way. It’s not only big agriculture that’s taking your rights away it is “animal rights” and you are paying them to do it!

In the past, farmers who were too greedy to hire American Citizens to work on their farms, sometimes paid a heavy price for that greed!

Reduction in meat agriculture can help eradicate world hunger and poverty!! It’s that simple!!! in the U.S. 70% of grains are fed to Farm Animals, leaving 30% to the people! Help save the World People! just Don’t buy much meat! you don’t have to be vegetarian or vegan if you don’t want to!
