| description | Education is essential for improving agriculture, both in productivity and environmental performance. Effective education must reach not just farmers, but also the public and policy makers so that the challenge of agricultural sustainability may be widely appreciated. The University of Louisiana at Lafayette has implemented a sweeping programme of educational improvements to transform a production demonstration farm into an agricultural learning landscape. Key features include instructional signs at overlooks; a discovery trail with activity stations and research bulletin boards; an ‘environmentally responsive’ home with energy-saving innovations; and a wildlife corridor, nature trail and outdoor classroom. The farm has attracted visitors of all ages and interests to learn about agriculture, stewardship and sustainability, whereby food is produced and economic benefit derived, but with no net degradation of earth resources. |
