Curriculum links occur between grades 7-12; however, due to the high context of the program older grades and even post-secondary educators are welcome to participate.

Using a virtual farming app, interactive activities and hands-on lessons the students will explore important concepts, such as but not limited to:

  • The simple planting of a seed starts a RIPPLE EFFECT that helps farm families, communities, countries and the world.
  • Agriculture is the foundation for life. SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE balances economic, social and environmental factors for long term success.
  • To FEED THE WORLD in 2050, we will need to grow over 60% more food on the same amount of land
