ABSTRACT INFORMATION
'Cow to Cup: Understanding Dairy Production and Careers in the Dairy Industry'

This presentation introduces a series of online modules developed to teach students about dairy production, and careers in the dairy industry. These interactive modules can either be used as part of a classroom presentation, or can be provided to students to work through independently in preparation for a more in depth discussion. Modules cover careers and STEM topics in breeding and genetics, farm-based production, processing of products and retailing agricultural products. The modules have been developed purposefully for alignment with science, health and wellness and other standards at the high school level.

Workshop Session (all workshops will be 60 minutes)
