Earth is an apple

Earth is an apple. Dean Dryden, president of Valley Adams Farm Bureau, along with colleagues and teachers at the Meadows Valley School, administer a program designed to give Meadows Valley Elementary and Middle School students a good look at agriculture. Speaker2: Earth is an apple. Speaker3: Earth is an apple, and it tells how small amount of ground is available to raise the food on the earth. Speaker1: With an apple as an analogy representing the planet, they show how just 1/32 of the surface of the Earth is used to produce food for everyone on the planet, and so. Speaker2: We are dealing with this little sliver for the amount of land that we can use to grow food to feed the world. Wow. I know what mind blowing. Right? And so if you all are aware that soil is valuable and soil is important because we all need to eat and we all like to eat, and it grows our food, and you know that in second or third grade, I think the world is going to be better off. Speaker3: It's an interesting thing for them to realize what a critical thing it is to have sustainable agriculture and have land to raise food for the population of the world. Speaker1: They rotate their presentation through the area schools over time, hitting each school at least twice between a student's time from first to eighth grades. It's agriculture. It's ecology. It's good.
