What is Agricultural Science Education and FFA?
Excerpted from the National FFA Web site www.ffa.org/
The agricultural science education program is built on the three core areas of classroom and laboratory instruction, supervised agricultural experience programs and FFA student organization activities/opportunities.
FFA represents the relevancy to the core areas offering students opportunities that changes lives and prepares students for premier leadership, personal growth and career success. Founded in 1928, the FFA organization represents a large diversity of over 300 careers in the food, fiber and natural resources industry. FFA uses agricultural education to create real-world success.
More than 7,000 FFA chapters are currently in existence; their programs are managed on a local, state and national level. Each chapter’s Program of Activities is designed with the needs of the students in mind. Activities vary greatly from school to school, but are based in a well-integrated curriculum. Chapter activities and FFA programs concentrate on three areas of our mission: premier leadership, personal growth and career success.
