Could This Radical College Change the World Economy?

[MindMover]

Gregory (right), who is from Haiti, and Samuel, who is from the U.S., stand in the intense Costa Rican, sun sharing their agricultural expertise. In the middle of the tropical rainforest, they describe the organic farm they work on, detailing everything from the benefits of its beautiful garden's mandala design to why worm composting makes good sense.

Gregory and Samuel aren't typical farmers. They're college students at EARTH University in Guacimo, Costa Rica, getting a hands-on education in sustainable agriculture.

Instead of churning out grades and papers, these students churn out real-life produce, and they hope to use what they learn to reap a better, more sustainable future across the globe. You may already have tasted the fruits of Gregory's and Samuel's labor if you shop at Whole Foods Market (WFM), which sells EARTH-branded bananas, pineapples, coffee, and fresh flowers from the farms of the campus -- and funnels a portion of the profit back to the school.
