SUMMARY:Geography: The Key to Our Global System of Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nThis workshop explores the critical role of geography in shaping agricultural production and its impact on food\, clothing\, and shelter. Participants will connect these concepts to the Big Ideas of AP Human Geography (APHG)—Patterns and Spatial Organization\, Impacts and Interactions\, and Spatial Process and Societal Change—and gain strategies for engaging students in analyzing geographic influences on agriculture. The session introduces the SPEED model (Social\, Political\, Economic\, Environmental\, Demographic) as a framework for understanding these impacts. Attendees will also explore strategies for facilitating student discussions and conducting risk assessments on bioengineered foods\, organic vs. conventional farming\, food sustainability\, and antibiotic use in dairy production. \nPresenters will share free\, standard-aligned lesson plans linked to the National Geography Standards\, Common Core\, and National Agricultural Literacy Outcomes. \nSession Focus\nSecondary/High School | Curriculum and Instruction | Agriculture\, APHG\, Population \nConference Room\nLewis \nMeet the Presenters\nBrooke Carpenter serves as the Director of Education for the Nebraska Farm Bureau Foundation\, where she leads a team of educators\, oversees the development of educational programs\, and coordinates statewide initiatives aimed at advancing agricultural literacy among students and teachers.
