| Celebrate National Ag Day 2017 |
Baton Rouge, La. - The Southern University Agricultural
Research & Extension Center and College of Agricultural, Family and
Consumer Sciences (the Land-Grant Campus) will be hosting its annual National
Ag Day celebration on Tuesday, March 21, 2017 from 9:00 A.M. 1:00 P.M. This
year’s theme is “Food for Life.” National Ag
Day is a nation-wide celebration where individuals and institutions recognize
the importance of agriculture and how it relates to everyday life.
National Ag Day recognizes and celebrates the abundance
provided by American agriculture. Join us on March 21 to show your appreciation
to all those in the agriculture industry responsible for feeding over seven
billion mouths every day.
Ag Day wants to help young people acknowledge and consider
career opportunities in the agriculture, food and fiber industries.
Youth and adults are invited to come and experience live
animal demonstrations, food demonstrations, technology and more at Southern
University in Baton Rouge. Students will learn how agriculture impacts their
daily living and how to sustain healthy living for life through food. The
importance of the food and agricultural industry and its contribution
statewide, nationally, and globally will be discussed with Ag Day participants.
Presentations in relevant areas will be made by university faculty, staff,
students and other community partners.
This event will be held at Southern University F.G. Clark
Activity Center - SU mini dome, Baton Rouge, La. We look forward to your
participation!
