Ag in the Classroom Saskatchewan (AITC-SK) partners with the agriculture and education communities to connect kids and agriculture. AITC-SK delivers innovative and experiential programs (Little Green Thumbs, Biotech Blast, AG Adventure, etc.) and provides free, curriculum-based resources (Saskatchewan Seed Kit, What’s Growing Around Us? book, etc.) to teach students about where their food comes from so future generations will understand that our farmers work hard to produce good, safe and healthy food.
