NIFA's Agriculture in the Classroom Program (AITC) serves nearly 5 million students and 60,000 teachers annually through workshops, conferences, field trips, farm tours and other educational activities. The AITC program works in partnership with state AITC organizations and supports activities engaged in a variety of issues relating to agricultural literacy and understanding the role of U.S. agriculture in the U.S. and world economies. The disciplines of agriculture and education have been related for much of our nation's history. When most Americans lived on farms or in small towns, students often did farm chores before and after school. Old schoolbooks have numerous agricultural references. As the farming population began to decline, agricultural emphasis decreased in educational materials as well. Application deadline is July 6. For more information, read the Agriculture in the K-12 Classroom funding opportunity. NIFA's mission is to invest in and advance agricultural research, education, and extension to solve societal challenges. NIFA's investments in transformative science directly support the long-term prosperity and global preeminence of U.S. agriculture. USDA is an equal opportunity lender, provider, and employer.
