ABSTRACT
For more than a millenium, agricultural landscape system has played an important role in educating and training young generation about green development; however the role of this system is reduced drastically due of globalization school education curricula, that tend ignoring the student opportunities to learn from the local environment as well as their ancestral heritage. This paper seek to initiate discussion of education reform in addressing global challenges for future development. Ethnography approach was used to explore three programs of re-contextualization of agricultural values and practices into education for sustainable development (ESD). It was found that greening school curriculum with locally relevant and culturally appropriate may contribute to achieve three pillars of ESD: profit, people and planet. There thus, education reform should be focused on place-based ESD to encourage youth for using their local cultures and practices as source of inspiration and motivation in building the future.
Keywords: local environment, education reform, global challenges and building the future.
