Agriculture In The Classroom Canada and Farm & Food Care release new edition of the Real Dirt on Farming in the Classroom

Agriculture in the Classroom Canada (AITC-C) and Farm & Food Care (FFC) are pleased to release the next edition of The Real Dirt on Farming in the Classroom e-learning resource. This partnership will give Grade 7-12 students across Canada the opportunity to explore key topics related to the agriculture and food industry.

Designed as a comprehensive educational tool, The Real Dirt on Farming in the Classroom offers students the chance to engage with a wide range of topics. Topics include the diverse individuals working in the agriculture and food industry, sustainable farming practices, the impact of climate change on agriculture, innovations in the field, animal welfare and much more. 

Through multimedia content, interactive modules and case studies, students will have the chance to delve into the complexities of modern agriculture while gaining valuable insights into the importance of sustainable food production. 

Mathieu Rouleau, Executive Director of AITC-C, says their partnership with Farm & Food Care has allowed them to create a dynamic educational resource to inspire and educate the next generation of agricultural leaders.

“By providing students with access to accurate and engaging information about agriculture and food production, we can empower them to make informed food choice,” says Rouleau.
