I am also chimming in a bit late, however, I am on vacation and I'm speeding through the book!

I do believe that part of a school semester or even a full semester should be dedicated to agriculture. I know in NYC there is an influx of public satellite schools that offer concentrations in environmental studies, teaching, fashion or whatever the students have a passion for. Offering a course or two in agriculture, sustainable living etc. would be perfect within the teenage years since they are exposed to many mainstream trends that have surfaced (i.e. Farm Aid on Roosevelt Island, Live Earth Concert). Taking it up a notch and offering it in schools would be great. I know CENYC (www.cenyc.org) has a program with a few schools in the area - a great start.
