The Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources Career and Technical Education Cluster introduces students to the production, processing, marketing, distribution, financing, and development of agricultural commodities and resources, including food, fiber, wood products, natural resources, horticulture, and other plant and animal products/resources. Through participation in the Virginia Future Farmers of America (FFA) Organization and/or the Virginia Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA), students have opportunities to apply knowledge and skills learned in the classroom.
Students will develop the necessary knowledge, skills, habits, and attitudes for employment in agricultural businesses. Emphasis is placed on personal financial management practices, consumer choices, financial records, business structures and procedures, and the economics of marketing agricultural products and services.
