The stirring words of PEI-born poet Tanya Davis are coupled with beautiful imagery and poignant stories from the island’s small but growing community of organic farmers, reminding us that we can rob the land only so much before …

Island Green is ultimately a story of hope and healthy promise.

Expliquer
que les pratiques d’agriculture industrielle à l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard
découlent de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. (4:00 à 5:30). Les élèves forment
trois groupes et examinent respectivement les avantages sociaux, économiques
et environnementaux de l’agriculture biologique, telle qu’elle est proposée
dans le film. Chaque groupe crée une affiche, un diaporama, une publicité ou
tout autre projet mettant en lumière ses conclusions. Les élèves font une
recherche sur les effets de la monoculture sur l’habitat des animaux montrés
dans le film ou sur d’autres habitats. (14:00). Ils rédigent un court poème
rythmé sur un enjeu qui leur est cher.
