In rural America, agriculture is a way of life and is learned through experiences from a young age, but those who grow up in urban settings don’t get that experience. There is one school in Milwaukee looking to change that. The River Trails School of Agricultural Science offers a unique experience to their students by having an ag focus in all grades starting in kindergarten all the way through 8th grade. Josh Gonzalez a second-grade teacher and agriculture committee chairman at the school shares how they incorporate agriculture into their curriculum. He says that being able to teach the students how to produce food and see what agriculture has to offer are the goals of the system that the school has set up.
