What's Going On

EARTH University, an institution of higher education focusing on sustainable agriculture, has a long relationship with the U.S. Agency for International Development, which makes this news exciting. Find the article at this website.



Follow EARTH University student Johanny Arilexis PĂ©rez Sierra, class of 2009, on her blog. She is currently doing her internship at the University of Florida. Follow her at blog here!


Zachary Shahan, a writer for the blog Eco Wordly, recently posted an article about the new report, "The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity". In his report, Shahan reiterates that conserving our environment is not only important to our future but also our economic success as well, “As the report says: ‘The failure of markets to adequately consider the value of ecosystem services is of concern not only to environment, development and climate change ministries but also to finance, economics and business ministries.’” I found his article very interesting!
