Article content The Government of Canada is committed to increasing awareness and promoting interest in agriculture across the country and Agriculture in the Classroom Canada (AITC-C) starts these conversations early, teaching Canadian youth the importance of farming and the agri-food sector while promoting interest for future careers in agriculture and food. Monday, the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, the Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, announced Agriculture in the Classroom Canada has been approved for up to $1.6 million over two years under the AgriCompetitiveness Program. The announcement marked the launch of one of AITC-C’s flagship initiatives, Canadian Agriculture Literacy Month (CALM), which is now in its tenth year.
