Province Proclaims Agriculture Literacy Month

Released on February 28, 2017

Today, the Government of Saskatchewan proclaimed March 1 to 31, as Agriculture Literacy month.


“Agriculture Literacy Month is an opportunity for producers and industry to share our agricultural stories to youth around the province,” Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said.  “With more and more students removed from the farm, it’s important for them to hear from those who produce the safe and nutritious food that appears in their lunch boxes.”

“As one of Saskatchewan’s primary industries, this is a great opportunity for our students to learn about agriculture, its significance to our province, and its impact on communities worldwide,” Deputy Premier and Education Minister Don Morgan said.  “Expanding this celebration throughout the month of March will allow more students to take part in activities with local producers and learn more about this important industry.”

During Agriculture Literacy Month, producers and other members of the agriculture industry visit classrooms around the province to read stories and discuss their agricultural experiences.  Their visits are supplemented by materials provided by Agriculture in the Classroom (AITC), such as books and videos.

“We are so appreciative that the agriculture community supports this program and, across the province, over 150 volunteers will be sharing their personal agriculture stories with more than 6,500 students,” AITC Executive Director Sara Shymko said.  “Programs that bring community together are important in helping youth feel connected to the farmers and people who help grow the food they eat.”

This is the first time agriculture literacy will be celebrated for an entire month.  This year’s theme is, “Our Food. Our Story.”
