Land Trust

The Lexicon of Sustainability is based on a simple premise: people can't be expected to live more sustainable lives if they don't even know the most basic terms and principles that define sustainability.

Land Trust

Season 1 Episode 19 | 2m 37s

In some parts of the U.S., a farm is worth more for its real estate than for what it grows and valuable food-producing land, which has been carefully tended for generations, is lost forever. Conservationist Bob Berner explains how land trusts provide guidance and economic support to keep farms in production and provide communities with cultural continuity.
