A recommendation from Understanding Agriculture (1988) states that, “Beginning in kindergarten and continuing through twelfth grade, all students should receive some systematic instruction about agriculture” (p. 2). The intent of this recommendation was to aid our society in becoming more literate about agriculture. Agricultural literacy suggests that a person understands the food and fiber system, including its history and current economic, social, and environmental significance.
