Farming

Middle secondary students use the Eco farm simulation to explore how farms can be managed for both biodiversity and farm profits. They consider how past farming practice has impacted woodlands and grasslands. They explore examples of farms that have protected and increased their biodiversity while maintaining their profits. Students develop proposals for increasing biodiversity and profitability on farms.
