<B>Mission:</B> The Minnesota Agriculture in the Classroom program
shall provide materials, programs and other opportunities, especially
to K-12 youth and educators, in helping to develop an understanding
and awareness of agriculture and its importance to Minnesota,
the nation and the world.
<HR>

<P>
Minnesota Agriculture in the Classroom (M-AITC) is a unique public/private
partnership working to provide relevant, real-life experiences
about agriculture to many diverse audiences. It is a school-based
education program helping students in grade K-12 gain broad-based
agricultural knowledge.
</P>
<P>
M-AITC materials and programs are designed to be integrated into
existing subject areas such as social studies, science, environmental
education, math and language arts. This interdisciplinary approach
provides unlimited opportunities for incorporating agriculture
across the K-12 curriculum. A multitude of materials are available
to assist educators in teaching about agriculture. M-AITC is outside
of the classroom too. Community groups, home schools and the general
public all take advantage of programs and resources that are part
of M-AITC.
