  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Learn More about Silvopasture
    Had you heard of the term "silvopasture" before now? After learning more about it, what do you think is the biggest advantage of silvopasture?

    I'd never heard of "silvopasture" before reading for this challenge. It seems like such a win-win.  Shade and protection for livestock, great for the environment, an additional source of income for the landowner -- and it just looks so much prettier!  I don't understand why this practice isn't more widespread.  
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Women and Girls Give a Microloan
    Globally, women typically invest a higher proportion of their earnings in their families and communities than men. Why do you think that is?

    Women tend to put others' needs before their own.

    If you haven't already seen it, One Strange Rock, a National Geographic Society documentary, is definitely worth watching.  It explores some of the global earth processes that life on earth depends on and is REALLY fascinating.  You can watch it on Netflix.
