Established with the aid of a Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) grant, this project was created to offer insight into what sustainability within agriculture actually looks like. Spread across eastern Nebraska, ten different farming operations are featured across the twenty different videos. Each farmer was interviewed by a high school student from a nearby school about what their operation does, how and why they choose to manage it in a certain way, and what makes it sustainable as well as what would make it more sustainable.
Rangelands are one of Nebraska’s most important and valuable natural resources: forage for livestock, habitat for wildlife, protection to soil from erosion, filters runoff water, and recharges groundwater. This unit will prepare students with a better understanding of rangeland ecosystems to prepare them for better management decision making.
