The Leopold Education Project (LEP) offers an innovative, interdisciplinary curriculum based on the classic writings of renowned conservationist Aldo Leopold. It educates the public on humanity's ties to the natural environment, promoting resource conservation and protection.

Fred Kirschenmann, Distinguished Fellow at the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, asserts that organic farming doesn't automatically equate to sustainability. He advocates for a shift from a "steady state" to "resiliency," noting that "greening up" isn't enough.

Kirschenmann, a third-generation organic farmer and long-time leader, highlights the unsustainable depletion of finite energy (hydrocarbons) and water resources. He warns that technology alone cannot provide substitute solutions. This insight stems from his talk at the Organicology conference.
