Describe a sustainable case study ( Agriculture subject related ) at the local level – a farm, a city or town, an enterprise or organisation. For each dimension of sustainability: social, economic and environmental demonstrate how well it meets the principles of ESD under those dimensions. Even though you have sought out a case study you believe, at the outset, is a “shining” example of sustainability in practice, it may also have flaws or weak points in one or more dimension. Therefore, you also need to critique where it does not meet the principles of ESD under each of the before mentioned dimensions.

General
Remember to identify your intentions clearly in the introduction to the assignment with aims for the essay, and how you will go about evaluating its sustainability features. The assignment must be prepared with appropriate referencing throughout, and sensible use of subheadings to organise your ideas.

Your grasp of the essay topic is demonstrated by thoroughly examining the key relevant literature. For example, you might provide an introduction to the general topic and statement of your aims, followed by a review of your case study and how well it meets the principles of sustainability. A 700-word examination of the potential deificiencies and how they may be addressed. Finish with a 300-word conclusion, evaluating your key take-home message and ensuring you have addressed the aims of your essay. The word limits are guidelines and there is room for movement around them.
Efforts reflecting wide reading (such as relevant papers in the moodle site and sourced from the literature) will be rewarded, as will originality in your commentary on the comparisons and contrasts. A critique is your opportunity to use the literature and information from the review to propose new ideas, substantiated by examples and evidence from your readings.
