Ag Issues Forum · Leadership
Ag Issues Forum
Tackle the tough, two-sided issues facing agriculture — research every angle and stage a balanced public forum.
In the Agricultural Issues Forum, a team researches a current, controversial agricultural issue, examines every side fairly, and stages a public presentation that informs an audience without taking a position.
What students do
- Choose and research a current agricultural issue
- Map the viewpoints of every stakeholder
- Build a balanced, engaging forum presentation
- Gather and document community feedback
Why it matters
Real issues rarely have one right answer. Students learn to research deeply, weigh perspectives, and communicate complex topics with fairness — the foundation of leadership and civic engagement.
