DENVER, Nov. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Far fewer schoolchildren today are exposed to agriculture, which often means they don't fully understand how their food is produced or where it comes from.

Key Points: 
  • A Beef Checkoff-funded program is connecting agriculture with science to help STEM educators foster a new generation of consumers who better understand where their food comes from.
