​Bringing Agriculture to Life.

Ag for Life is a charitable organization dedicated to sparking curiosity, understanding and excitement about agriculture, food and natural resources among teachers and students.

We bring agriculture to life through interactive learning, real-world experiences, and fostering agricultural literacy!

What is Ag Literacy?

Agriculture literacy is the understanding and knowledge of agriculture and its impact on society. 

 

An agriculturally literate person understands how the agricultural industry works – not just where food comes from, but who grows it, agriculture’s effect on the economy, environment, and society.

Featured Resources 

We work closely with educators and industry partners to make sure the resources we share reflect up-to-date knowledge, foster critical thinking skills and bring agriculture to life in fun and engaging ways.

Best of all? Our resources are directly linked to Alberta curriculum at all grade levels.

The Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council (CAHRC) predicts 50,000 agriculture and food jobs will have to be filled in the next few years.

So what kind of careers are out there? We interviewed agriculture professionals to learn more about the roles they play in helping feed the world. 

Cultivating Curiosity.

Growing Futures.

We aim to engage students in agricultural education through captivating learning experiences, resources, and hands-on project-based learning, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of agriculture while equipping future generations with the knowledge and skills needed to grow strong and resilient futures.

Project-Based Learning

We believe that agriculture offers engaging and empowering learning opportunities that help students become innovative problems solvers, equipping them with essential skills.

Hands-on learning such as planting and harvesting encourage students to apply their knowledge of STEM concepts to real world challenges.

Growing Together

Our community of educators, volunteers, farm families, and leaders is crucial in our efforts to advance agricultural literacy.

 

Together we strive to promote awareness, understanding, and appreciation of agriculture, ensuring that students have access to the knowledge and resources necessary to make informed decisions about food, farming, and the environment.
