FNAFO launches program to teach Indigenous youth about agriculture

First Nations Agriculture and Finance Ontario (FNAFO) has launched a program that will help Indigenous youth learn more about pursuing a career in agriculture. The program will teach high school students about farming and agriculture. Four different lessons are designed for students in Grade 9, Grade 10, Grade 11, and Grade 12, and each lesson can be adapted according to teacher interests. The program will start with students on reserves and has a Northern Ontario focus. It will also be available across Ontario to classes with First Nations students, and can be offered virtually.
