Agriculture Awareness Toolkit
Introduction and Contents
Since less than three
percent of Canadians are
farmers, those of us that are closely-tied to the agriculture industry must work
harder than ever to ensure that we bring the good news of the farm to the
city. With the limited resources available to dedicated agriculture
ambassadors, we must put our heads together to share ideas and avoid
overlapping efforts.
OFAC’s
Ag Awareness Toolkit has been designed with this mind. From advice for dealing
with difficult situations to petting zoo guidelines, to instructions for
building your own farm trivia game, the Ag Awareness Toolkit will be useful
for anyone organizing or volunteering at an agricultural education event.
This Toolkit is also intended to be a
forum for agricultural ambassadors to share their experiences and ideas.
E-mail your ideas to us at info@ofac.org and we will be happy to post them
for others to see!
