Program areas at American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture

Ag literacy - an agriculturally literate person is defined as "one who understands and can communicate the source and value of Agriculture as it affects quality of life." The American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture grows awareness and understanding of Agriculture by: creating fact-based educational resources and programs for students in grades k-12; offering professional development and other science-based learning opportunities for teachers and other educators; and building relationships between educational institutions and their communities. Our resources and programs are used in classrooms throughout the country.
White-reinhardt fund for education - the white-reinhardt project grant program funds projects that will increase agricultural literacy. County and state Farm bureaus may apply for grants for education programs for grades k-12 to initiate new ag literacy programs or expand existing programs. The white-reinhardt fund for education scholarship program is available to eligible full-time educators and/or volunteers who actively participate in classroom ag literacy programs or events. Scholarship recipients are awarded funds to attend the national Agriculture in the classroom conference with the expectation that they will use knowledge gained to expand their outreach to students on topics related to food, fiber, and fuel. The christina sue lilja teacher resource grant program provides educators with grants to purchase American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture resources to use in their classrooms.
Feeding minds press - we engage young learners about where their food comes from by publishing accurate books about Agriculture. Published books feature topics that are relevant to Agriculture and society, connecting readers to how food is grown and who grows it. Our books feature age-appropriate information about modern agricultural practices used by today's farmers and ranchers highlighting how they care for livestock and the land.
