Summary<\/h4>\n

This 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)\u2014Patterns and Spatial Organization, Impacts and Interactions, and Spatial Process and Societal Change\u2014and 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.<\/p>\n

Presenters will share free, standard-aligned lesson plans linked to the National Geography Standards, Common Core, and National Agricultural Literacy Outcomes.<\/p>\n
