The Agriculture Education Foundation is a private non-profit foundation to promote agricultural education accessibility and support agricultural educators. While the foundation's efforts support all agricultural education, this foundation will put the highest emphasis on agricultural education that engages youth in the cities. Students in the cities are the most under exposed to agriculture, yet many food producing factories and other agriculturally connected industries are in the cities.
