Education
As Kentucky’s public schools strive to prepare the next generation of students for work and to become fully informed and participating citizens in an ever more complex society, the issue of education about agriculture — as well as education in agriculture — deserves a fresh look by the state’s policymakers.  Agriculture is becoming more complex, competitive and challenging on a daily basis. The future success of Kentucky agriculture therefore depends both on increasing the number of graduates from post-secondary institutions in a diverse set of agricultural-related fields, and on expanding access to continuing education opportunities for farmers and other agricultural professionals.
