The Wisconsin K-12 Energy Education Program (KEEP) has an online resource for integrating energy into agriculture lessons. The site includes activities, connections to career paths, and more. Check it out at: www.uwsp.edu/cnr/wcee/keep/Resources/Agriculture/index.htm
This site is dedicated to strengthening the connection between agriculture education and energy. In today's world, energy is becoming more and more important for students to understand. As fuel prices rise and energy resource reserves decline, our students need to be prepared for a future of new technologies and innovations in energy. Hydrogen filling stations, wind farms, and low emission coal generation facilities will all factor in to tomorrow's energy. Our students may be working, living, and consuming energy in a drastically different world.
How can we prepare our students for tomorrow? By creating through our students a more energy-literate, energy-wise population! The choices they will make in the future will have an impact on the global agriculture, food, fiber and natural resources systems. Together we can ensure that the impact our students have will be positive.
