HOW THE MANITOBA AG DAYS ADVENTURE WORKS

In the morning, students play the World Game and gain a perspective on global issues as they learn about population, ratio and proportion, distribution and density, agricultural production, food security, and imports and exports.
In the afternoon, they go on an Ag Hunt, working in teams to visit participating Manitoba Ag Days booths for information about our local ag industry and ag careers.
