Biodiversity is crucial to building a thriving farm. This is the main takeaway for the 2018 documentary, The Biggest Little Farm.
Learning to see the connecting parts in the ecosystem helps trees, plants, insects, and animals grow and be part of that system.
This simple but significant concept works for school, too.
Are families the contributors to schools?
Because parents influence and impact how our children learn and grow at home and outside, bringing parents into the children's learning and growth is the work worth figuring out. Just like improperly involving parents in school activities creates problems for everyone, cutting people out completely doesn't help either.
Building biodiversity isn't about eliminating insects so farmers can protect the fruit trees. The point is to learn how everyone in the ecosystem is interconnected and work together to achieve the desired outcome.
