Growing Our Future

Welcome back to another captivating episode of the Growing Our Future podcast, hosted by the insightful Aaron Alejandro. Today, Aaron sits down with a true luminary in the field of agricultural education, Dr. Gary Moore, a passionate historian and educator whose impact has been felt across generations.

In this episode, Aaron and Dr. Moore delve deep into the roots of agricultural education, exploring the very essence of what makes this field unique. Dr. Moore, a distinguished figure in the agricultural education landscape, sheds light on the core principles that set this discipline apart from others in the educational realm.

Agricultural education, as Dr. Moore explains, stands out due to its emphasis on relevance and application. Unlike traditional education where students might simply turn in assignments, agricultural education takes knowledge a step further by encouraging hands-on learning and practical applications. Dr. Moore vividly describes how agricultural education and its associated programs, such as FFA, teach students not just to memorize facts, but to understand and apply them in real-world scenarios.
