These resources for your Government
and Economics classes take a look at the threats of urban sprawl
in Indiana and discuss how to manage development to preserve
the agricultural heritage of the state and still allow for progress
to occur.
This informative, 20-minute video raises awareness of the issue,
explores the value of preserving farmland, and presents farmland
protection program options. It also features interviews with:
- Purdue University experts
- Members of the Indiana Farm Bureau
- Former Indiana politicians
- And the farmers themselves
Accompanying the video are materials appropriate for US Government
or Economics classes that align to current Indiana
academic standards.
They include a worksheet students can work on while watching
the video and an assignment where students work alone and in
small groups to decide where a company should build a new factory.
