Public Perception

Less than 2 percent of the U.S. population is directly involved in farming, resulting in a population with little idea of how their food is produced. It is imperative that opportunities are created for people to have access to education about modern agriculture.

• Placing resources in key areas such as school education, educator, retailer, legislative, and consumer education sectors are critical to fulfill the continuing need to provide resources to help educate about modern agricultural practices.
