SAN DIEGO — The American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture announced here that, with the support of DuPont Pioneer, it is launching an online database of educational resources to improve understanding of the agriculture industry among students.

The new “Best of Ag Literacy” database will include more than 200 publicly submitted tools and resources tailored to multiple grade levels, the foundation said. Users will be able to review and download the resources for free, in addition to interacting with other users to share feedback and implementation strategies.

The site will be updated annually, with top submissions recognized each January at the American Farm Bureau Federation annual convention.

The database will support AFBFA’s “Pillars of Agricultural Literacy”— a framework of standards for increasing agricultural literacy among learners of all ages.

The American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture is inviting the public to submit resources for consideration for the 2015 “Best of Ag Literacy” database by February 13. To receive a submission form and more information, email the American Farm Bureau Foundation education director.
