The concept of the Tragedy of the Commons was recognized in the 1800s but it was introduced to the public discussion of environmental science by the evolutionary biologist Garrett Hardin in 1968. Your text book discusses the concept on pages 23-24. Below are a few other links.
A link to a TED Ed video: . This is short (4:38 minutes) and to the point.
A link to the explanation at the Khan Academy: is a little longer (6:38 minutes) but has some interesting explanations and discussion.
Finally, the original Hardin link: is longer but worth reading.
Your assignment is to identify, explain, and discuss an example of the Tragedy of the Commons specifically focused on the topics in agricultural production and activity. I know you can Google ‘tragedy of the commons examples’ and in a few minutes, have dozens of examples. Resist that temptation. The examples an internet search will find are relevant but also old and over-used. They also may give you the mistaken impression that the Tragedy of the Commons is something big and out there, not something that shows up in your everyday lives in ways large and small.
