Mission & Vision
The mission and vision for the California Foundation for Agriculture
in the Classroom is to increase awareness and understanding of
agriculture among California's educators and students. Our vision
is an appreciation of agriculture by all.
Agriculture is the very basis of civilization—the food we eat, the
clothing we wear, the material of our homes and many of our
traditions and values… all coming from agriculture and collectively
setting the pace for a nation's standard of living.
As generations of Americans become more distant from their
agrarian origins, fewer and fewer people understand agriculture's
importance to society.
Yet, increasingly, people with limited agricultural knowledge and
background are determining agricultural policy.
What the future holds for agriculture will determine the quality of
life for all…farmers and ranchers…suppliers…food processors…
wholesalers… retailers…consumers.
The California Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom works
with K–12 teachers, students, and community leaders, to enhance
education using agricultural examples. We offer school children the
knowledge to make informed choices. Some students will choose
agriculture as their life's work. All students, as future voters, will
make decisions about agriculture.
