According to the National Association of Agricultural Education Agriculture Education is learning about the food, agriculture, and natural resource systems. Students gain abilities to comprehend skills such as math, science, leadership, management, and communication.
Agricultural educations have three concepts:
- Classroom learning
- Experiential learning- Hands on learning that takes place outside of the classroom. An example of this is learning in a horse barn or in a greenhouse.
- Leadership education- Student organizations such as the national FFA organization, young farmer education association.
In 1917, the Smith-Hughes Act was enabled. The Smith-Hughes act was formally known as the National Vocational Education Act. This act helped set up the precollegiate vocational education.
