JoCo Grows Ag Literacy

The JoCo Grows Agriculture Committee, housed within NC Cooperative Extension, Johnston County Center, will launch a K-5 agricultural education instrument called the JoCo Grows Junior Extension Agents Adventure Guide to increase the agricultural literacy of 10,000 youth within three academic school years in Johnston County. Through partnerships such as Johnston County Public Schools, home school groups, local farms, and agribusinesses, youth will explore NC Cooperative Extension’s three core focus areas of agriculture & food, health & nutrition, and 4-H youth development to increase their agricultural literacy.
