Alternative Animal Agriculture

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Presenting an unusual topic, this collection of slides examines alternative animals that can be grown for profit or human use. It details the raising of rabbits as food, llamas for textiles, earthworms as fish bait, and a variety of insects for different purposes. This would be a fascinating topic for discussion when considering human impact on the environment or even in a career exploration unit. It would be even more interesting if you added some photos of these approaches to agriculture.
