Thanks to the development of agriculture, our Earth can feed the almost 8 billion people that call it home. But the challenge facing us today is how to make the practice of large-scale farming sustainable. We have learned how to use alternative energies—like solar and wind power—to run our farms. We have also learned how to use the land and the animals on it in a more environmentally friendly way. Green Farming will show you how.
