Join us in learning about Harvesting: Crops and Careers, the educational project examining harvesting across America. Focus on in depth views of social issues, the business of harvesting our food, and related careers. Also, pulse crops are an ancient and diversified food that have been somewhat overlooked as our diets now focus on other grains. Participants will learn about the United Nations 2016 “International Year of the Pulses” and why pulse crops are good business, good for the environment, and good for us. Connections: FCS, ELA, STEM, and careers. Includes lesson plans and classroom readers.
