'Feeding the World: Connecting Your Students to International Agriculture' |
|
|---|---|
|
The world population is expected to reach 9 billion by the year 2045. Understanding how U.S. agriculture fits into the global economy can be a great way to inspire your students to take part in the international issue of sustainable food production. Compare agriculture in Latin America and Africa with what is done here at home. This is a great way of connecting social studies issues, geography, culture and more through discussions and research. Apply science and technology concepts as well. Challenge your students to think GLOBALLY with this fast paced and hands on workshop. Workshop Session (all workshops will be 75 minutes) | |
