"Envision a brighter future with this STEM-based subset of True Books. Thanks to the development of agriculture, our Earth can feed the almost 8 billion people that call it home. But the challenge facing us today is how to make the practice of large-scale farming sustainable. We have learned how to use alternative energies - like solar and wind power - to run our farms. We have also learned how to use the land and the animals on it in a more environmentally friendly way. Green Farming will show you how. ABOUT THE SERIES: What would a green future look like? Will trains and airplanes be powered by the sun? Will we have homes that have zero impact on the environment? The most pressing challenge facing us today is how to ensure a healthy Earth for ourselves and future generations. This STEM-based set of A True Books introduces students to the engineering innovations that can help us reach those goals. Interesting information is presented in a fun, friendly way - and in the simplest terms possible - and will inspire kids to start envisioning and enacting a more sustainable future"-- Provided by publisher.
