For this week’s DB, please read the chapter on agriculture in your textbook and then watch at least three short videos from Frontline World (available at http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/) and/or W.H. Freeman (some suggestions are listed below).

You should discuss one or more of the following questions:

Please use specific examples from your text and from the assigned films (when possible).
