Major Program: Local Food Systems
Focus is an acronym for Food Chain under Survey and was developed to provide an in-depth look at the food production and their pricing influences. Our audience is a small group of well qualified high school juniors that are very interested in agriculture business and production. During this series of classes, we will expose the young adults to how different businesses are structured, how pricing is affected by inputs and how we get food from farm to table in all population densities.
