This year marks the third听Canadian Agriculture Literacy Week and the seventh Agriculture Literacy Week in Nova Scotia. March 2- 8, 2014

In Nova Scotia, Ag Literacy Week听is a time听when school children are encouraged to celebrate agriculture in our province by reading books about farming.听 Last year, over 80 volunteers from agricultural sectors across the province went into grade 2 and 3 classrooms to read to school children and donate books and other educational resources about farming.

This annual event is an educational initiative of the Nova Scotia Agricultural Awareness Committee and the Nova Scotia Department of Agriculture.听 With the support of Farm Credit Canada, classrooms across the country will be celebrating the third Canadian Agriculture Literacy Week with a variety of activities.

For 2014 we are offering a uniquely Nova Scotian farm book for grade 3 and 4 classrooms. If you are interested in volunteering to participate in Canadian Agriculture Literacy Week or would like further information, please contact:
