Why is it important to look at the world from other species' points of view? Author Michael Pollan claims it is a way to reanimate the earth, realize Darwinian insights, and to take the food we need from the earth while healing it in the process. Pollan offers an in-depth look into permaculture and a self-maintained agricultural system modeled from a natural ecosystem. Make sure to periodically pause the video to check for understanding and explain concepts more fully to your class.
