Youth Engagement in Agriculture: Conservation and Career Opportunities

The Plant and Soil Sciences Department aims to foster awareness and interest in agriculture, soil, and water conservation among youth. Programs include the Plant Science Academy, where high school students work with scientists, and the Oklahoma Field Day, which encourages younger students and families to explore agricultural impacts. Additionally, 4-H and FFA members enhance skills in soil classification, while the Improving Conservation through Experimentation (ICE) project allows youth to develop conservation initiatives. Support is needed for these educational projects. For more information, contact Sarah Lancaster or Brian Arnall at Oklahoma State University.
