It Came From Planted Earth
The 4-H Science Education and Resources for Informal Educational Settings (4-H SERIES) Project is a learn by doing curriculum focused on environmental and societal science issues important to everyone's life.  The unit "It Came From Planted Earth" is being revised to reflect current issues i.e. land use, water rights, integrated pest management, and biotechnology.  Given the decreasing farm population and widespread lack of understanding among consumers about the sources of their food and fiber, agricultural education is vitally important to the future of farming and ranching.  Increasingly, people with limited agricultural knowledge and background are determining agricultural policy.  What the future holds for agriculture will determine the quality of life for all farmers and ranchers, suppliers, food processors, wholesalers, retailers and consumers.  All youth, as future voters, will make decisions about agriculture's future. Review of the new activities are being piloted test and new groups are always welcome.
