Public Education

Knowing where food comes from empowers people to choose what they eat and support their farmers.

B.C. Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation

The foundation works with educators through several programs to bring B.C. agriculture to students.

Farm to School – British Columbia

Sponsored by the Public Health Association of B.C., this program has parents, students, and teachers prepare, serve and eat fresh, local produce. Children receive the health benefits of fresh produce while they learn about the local food system, nutrition, and health.

Spread the Message American Farmland Trust

Spread the Message programs focus on supporting local foods and farms. It is a good source of ideas for your own communication efforts.

TLC Conservation Farm Holidays

TLC partners with Conservation Partner Farms to help people reconnect with the land and learn what it takes for farmers to bring food from the fields to the table.
