In today's rapidly changing world, it's essential for young learners to not only grasp core content but also understand the significance of agriculture in our daily lives. Integrating agricultural literacy into classrooms not only fosters a deeper understanding of where our food comes from but also cultivates valuable skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and environmental awareness. This presentation aims to highlight instructional strategies for utilizing the Farm Bureau's Ag In The Classroom resources in the elementary classroom as well as integrating them with core curriculum content so that it may strengthen connections and relevance to the real world.
