“The desk that I’m sitting at, the leather and the clothes that we’re wearing. That umbrella of agriculture is so important for us to make sure that we start teaching these earlier learners the importance and give them such a good ‘ag awareness,'” said Christa Steinkamp of Georgia Agricultural Education.

A three-year pilot program is set to begin, aimed at incorporating agriculture education into Georgia elementary schools.

Cogburn Woods Elementary in Fulton County and Hill City Elementary in Pickens County are among the 20 schools taking part.

Christa Steinkamp with Georgia Agricultural Education says when many people think of agriculture, food is the first thing that comes to mind, but it’s actually much more.
