Knowin’ What’s Growin’
In response to the imperative of cultivating an appreciation for agriculture and understanding its critical role in our communities, economy, and daily lives, the California Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom has developed the website Knowin’ What’s Growin’ and the accompanying curriculum. This initiative, along with resources available on LearnAboutAg.org, aims to deepen the public’s understanding of agriculture’s importance.
Additionally, this initiative promotes healthier eating habits among children and their families by encouraging the consumption of California-grown fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
Knowin’ What’s Growin’ provides county-specific information on specialty crops tailored to each of California’s counties, offering lessons on each crop, informative videos, and child-friendly recipes.
