Ag Literacy with Brendan Black
Ag Literacy is defined as having a basic knowledge of how food and fiber systems work. However, many consumers today do not understand these systems and processes.

This episode, as part of a podcast exchange with Brendan\u2019s show, we discuss his journey into agriculture, barriers to ag introduction and retention, strategies for communicating ag, and more.
Tune in to learn:
- How Brendan found his way into agriculture
- The \u201cEASE\u201d-y way to communicate science
