WHY DOES IT MATTER?

  • Agriculture shapes your quality of life. Whether you live in a city, town, or in the country, agriculture provides your food, clothing, and many other products you rely on every day.
  • Understanding Agriculture makes you an informed consumer. Learning about farming and the agricultural industry from reputable sources helps you sort fact from fiction in the news and social media.
  • Knowledge of Agriculture can prepare students for a fulfilling career. One of every six working people in the U.S. is employed within agriculture.
