What do Agriculture and Education have in Common?

Seems I'm not the only one who likes their green analogies and has seemingly unconnected subjects swimming around in their head at the same time!

Listening to a fascinating talk on new strategies for education with Ken Robinson the other day on TED (http://www.ted.com/) he not only began the talk with a reference to climate change but summed up by saying that we need an 'agricultural model' of education to replace the industrial one we have inherited from the 19th century.
