  • Agriculture in the Classroom-Manitoba (AITC-M) envisions a future where:

    • Every student knows where and how their food is grown
    • Every teacher has the tools to inspire tomorrow’s innovators, consumers and decision-makers
    • Every Manitoban understands the issues and challenges our province’s largest industry faces in its efforts to nourish the world safely and sustainably

    They are a non-profit, charitable organization dedicated to developing curriculum-linked programs, resources and activities for teachers and students to learn more about the importance of agriculture in Manitoba.
