How will we sustainably feed 9 billion people by the year 2050?
Journey 2050 allows schools to experience agriculture like it’s never been taught before. As Grade 7-12+ students explore sustainable agriculture they make inquiry-based decisions to see the ripple effect on social, economic and environmental factors locally and globally. Farm families guide students through interactive games such as a virtual farm simulation. Lesson plans are provided in this free, curriculum-based program. Attend this information session to play the games and hear how you can use it in your community. Food is life. Sustainable food is our future. Workshop Session (all workshops will be 75 minutes) | |

| Biosketch: | Lindsey Verhaeghe has been developing and implementing agriculture education programs for over a decade. Growing up on a Canadian cattle ranch near the Montana border instilled a passion for agriculture in Lindsey. After graduating with a degree in Communications, Lindsey realized there is a disconnect between urban and rural which resulted in her dedicating her career towards agriculture education. In 2009, she joined Agrium Inc. to lead their Corporate Social Responsibility efforts related to youth education and sustainable agriculture.
