Alberta's Project Agriculture program continues to grow

Alberta Barley, Alberta Canola, Alberta Pulse Growers, and the Alberta Wheat Commission worked together on creating new modules focusing on the crop sector. The recent addition will complement the existing free online programming and align with the current curriculum for students from grades 7 to 12. Tara Sawyer, Chair of the Alberta Barley Commission says the goal of Project Agriculture is to provide opportunities and educational support. 

"It allows teachers, students, even parents, to explore a variety of agriculture. Seeing the topics and different issues and challenges both on a local and a global context. The best part of it is it ties to their curriculum section that we are collaborating on in this new module, and it aligns with the junior high and the senior high studies and science topics.

So it's very practical, and it's coming straight from a producer source." Project Agriculture was able to expand to encompass more educational topics and sectors in agriculture, including crops, as a result of funding from the Government of Canada and the Government of Alberta through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership. 

Alberta's Project Agriculture program was originally designed and implemented by Alberta Milk, Egg Famers of Alberta, Alberta Chicken Producers, Alberta Turkey Producers, and Alberta Hatching Eggs Producers.
