The school district I have worked at for the past 20 years is located in south Jersey and is surrounded by farmland. Many of our students live and or work on farms. I would love to pair this program and additional agricultural science programs with my love for teaching biotechnology, genetics, sourcing local and supporting farmers, and about the importance of farming and agriculture for the future of our planet.
