Agriculture & Environmental Awareness Day began on the University of Georgia’s Tifton Campus in April, 2001, under the leadership of researcher Benjie Baldree.  Mr. Baldree recognized the need to educate students on the many aspects of food and fiber production here in Georgia, so in the fall he invites 4th graders and in the spring 3rd graders to see some thirty different presentations related not only to agriculture and the environment but also to science and math topics corresponding to the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS).  Presentations are designed to provide students with knowledge and skills needed for third and fourth grade proficiency in science.
