Iowa | Activity 8.1: The Balance of Land Use and Sustainability

Students watch a video about working landscapes to see if they are a possible solution to Iowa’s modern challenges. They then consider their own lives, including where their families live, work, and go to school, to determine if the three elements of a working landscape (social, ecological, and economic) are in balance, or if one element outweighs the other two.
