These sessions will provide awareness and knowledge of animal agriculture in these challenge areas listed.  They will also give details on careers and how this area connects with your animal project.  There will be a case study to further develop discussion skills with a local project leader, agriculture, and or science teacher on the discussion topic. Younger youth can learn through a take-home activity they talk about with parents and or project leaders.
