Food and Farm Facts Now Available to Tell the Story of Agriculture

The new Farm and Food Facts book, map, and pocket guide are now available.  The information is produced by the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture.

“Food and Farm Facts provides the opportunity to share the story of agriculture,” said Foundation Chair Zippy Duvall.  “It talks about the how and why farmers do what they do to produce food, fiber, and renewable fuel. I hope it also puts into perspective how blessed we are to be Americans.”

Food and Farm Facts will help answer questions like, “Where does our food come from and who grows it?” The 32-page, full-color book features updated facts and easy-to-read infographics that can be used in a variety of ways to help increase agricultural literacy. The Farm Bureau Foundation said the book will be a valuable resource in the classroom, at fairs and events, for student leadership organizations, and on social media.
