Agriculture Literacy Network

The Agriculture Literacy Network was formed to provide training, services and resources to those interested in educating students and the public on agricultural topics. View our list of members. 

Supporters of the Kentucky Agriculture and Environment in the Classroom realized that non-traditional educators may be our greatest resource in providing agricultural literacy programs to our students and the general public through classroom visits, farm tours, festivals, fairs, and interacting with the public. 

We want to make your job easier!
