flag Pennsylvania schools expand ag programs to tackle food insecurity and teach sustainability.

flag Mayfield and Greater Johnstown school districts in Pennsylvania are expanding their second-year agricultural education programs, focusing on food systems, sustainability, and non-farming careers in agriculture. flag Students engage in hands-on activities like growing produce, baking with donated squash, studying horticulture, and learning beekeeping, while gaining skills in food preparation and problem-solving. flag With over half the students in Johnstown qualifying for free or reduced-price lunches, the programs aim to address food insecurity and support academic success by connecting classroom learning to real-world applications. flag The initiatives highlight the broad range of careers in agriculture, from food science to environmental management, and strengthen students’ understanding of local food sources and sustainability.
