National Ag Day is March 19, 2024, Agriculture: Growing a Climate for Tomorrow

In celebration of this year’s National Ag Day (19 March), Team AgLearn is providing information and resources to encourage awareness of this annual event. This year’s theme is, “Agriculture: Growing a Climate for Tomorrow.”


Background

National Ag Day was created to recognize and celebrate the abundance provided by agriculture. Every year, producers, agricultural associations, corporations, universities, government agencies and countless others across America join to recognize the contributions of agriculture. The Agriculture Council of America hosts the campaign on a national level. However, the awareness efforts in communities across America are as influential - if not more - than the broad-scale effort.

In short, Ag Day is about recognizing - and celebrating - the contribution of agriculture in our everyday lives. The National Ag Day program encourages every American to:

  • Understand how food and fiber products are produced.
  • Value the essential role of agriculture in maintaining a strong economy.
  • Appreciate the role agriculture plays in providing safe, abundant, and affordable products.
