ATTENTION all Farm Bureau members involved in consumer/public outreach activities, such as through our Promotion & Education program. There’s a freshly updated resource awaiting you from the organization’s national level — so read on!
Fascinating facts about food in America — how and where it’s grown and who produces it — are at your fingertips in a new resource produced by the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture. Order the new Food and Farm Facts book, map, pocket guide and related products in the series at Fb.org/store.
“With so many Americans interested in how our food system works, Food and Farm Facts is the perfect resource at the perfect time,” said Foundation Chairman and AFBF President Zippy Duvall.
Food and Farm Facts helps answer questions from learners of all ages, like “Where does our food come from and who grows it?” The 32-page, color book features updated facts and easy-to-read infographics about U.S. agriculture, useful for boosting ag literacy in classrooms, at fairs and events, for student leadership organizations and when creating social media posts.
The book is organized by section: Consumers, Modern Farmers, Trade & Economics, Environment and Production.
Copies of Food and Farm Facts may be purchased for $4.25 each (up to 49 copies). Price breaks are available for multi-copy purchases starting at 50: 50-99 copies, $3.50 each; 100 or more copies, $2.50 each.
Each copy includes an “Abundant Agriculture” map poster depicting top agricultural products in every state. A pocket guide version of Food and Farm Facts (100 copies for $10) that features several popular infographics from the book is also available.
Additional Food and Farm Facts products created by the Foundation will be available later this fall. These include free classroom activity cards for grades 4-6 and a PowerPoint game for grades 7-12 developed using national learning standards and state “common core” standards that reflect the knowledge and skills young people need for success in college and careers.
