Agriculture in the Classroom-Manitoba (AITC-M) envisions a future where:

Every student knows where and how their food is grown

We foster agricultural literacy

An agriculturally literate citizen understands where their food comes from, the important role agriculture plays in their everyday lives, and the relationship between agriculture and:

The environment
Food, fibre and energy
Animals
Lifestyle
Technology
The economy

We call these the Six Pillars of Agricultural Literacy. These Pillars guide our program and resource offerings for every grade level, help us measure our success, and coordinate our efforts with teachers and industry partners.
