Problem
Today’s agriculture faces big challenges—including declining soil health, limited water resources, and more extreme weather patterns. At the same time, students often have limited opportunities to learn how these issues affect food, health, and the environment, or how they can be part of the solution.
Solution
This project aims to help high school and community college students understand the real-world challenges facing modern agriculture, and giving them the practical skills to communicate science clearly and effectively. By building both knowledge and communication skills, students are better prepared to develop and share sustainable solutions in their future careers.
