The Canadian and Manitoba governments are providing $99,400 over two years to support Agriculture in the Classroom - Manitoba.
The organization delivers curriculum-based programs, activities and resources for teachers and students to learn more about agriculture and the role it plays in Manitoba.
“Our goal is to ensure all Manitoba students, by the time they graduate, have enough accurate information to make informed consumer decisions. Agricultural education initiatives like Canadian Agriculture Literacy Month allow thousands of students to make meaningful connections to food and farming early on,” said Sue Clayton, executive director of Agriculture in the Classroom – Manitoba.
The funding is flowing through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership.
