On some livestock farms, you may not be allowed to enter barns because of biosecurity! Biosecurity protects farm animals from disease, and crops from plant diseases & pests. Keeping livestock and crops healthy helps ensure you food is safe! Learn more about Biosecurity: https://aitc-canada.ca//learn-about-agriculture/category/a... #AITCSK #snapAG #AgEducation

Say hello to Leah, one of our Program Coordinators! "It has been quite the unusual start to the school year but I continue to be excited to connect students with careers in agriculture in different and new ways! While I miss the interactions with students and teachers I am motivated to find new opportunities to connect! One of the projects I am most excited for is an innovative and interactive resource for students to learn more about themselves and how they can connect their... interests to a career in agriculture." Leah is an integral part of our team with her focus on #thinkAG initiatives. We are grateful to have Leah on our team, and look forward to celebrating the launch of her resource! #AITCSK #OurTeam

Make kindness the norm. Send an uplifting text to a friend. Let that person merge into traffic with a wave. Share a compliment. Reach out to family you haven't spoke to in a while. Make someone smile. #WorldKindessDay

#DYK it is illegal to do anything that would cause suffering to an animal at any point in the transportation process? In addition, livestock transport is important to food quality and safety as injuries, stress, disease and the effects of hot/humid or cold weather during transportation may negatively affect the quality and safety of meat.
