#Q7 Connecting to others within the community, exploring and participating in different options to find what you enjoy #teachagchat

[Corey Thomas @CoreyThomas24]

I feel like this loops back to the topic of agrotourism maybe? #teachagchat https://t.co/CCLHX9M5eW

[Emily Picard @EmilyPicard10]

@TeachAgPSU Q6 I can't remember if outdoor recreation is included? If not, it should be. #teachagchat

[Corey Thomas @CoreyThomas24]

Small scale is such a resurgent topic the past few years, this is so important to cover #teachagchat https://t.co/BvssOLCbgx

[Sarah LaRose @sarah3larose]

@TeachAgPSU my #localfood class drew from mult areas but didn't neatly fit. Perhaps some more focus on small scale practices? #TeachAgChat

[Corey Thomas @CoreyThomas24]

#Q6 Separating standards by career clusters is efficient, but may cut out other areas of Ag, its so large of a content area #Teachagchat

[Corey Thomas @CoreyThomas24]

With ~2% of population involved in Ag, there isnt enough exposure. This is why I am going into Ag Ed #teachagchat https://t.co/KijcgaDjv4

#Q5 Stakeholders can advocate within a community, incorporate their own involvement into the communities they serve #teachagchat

[Corey Thomas @CoreyThomas24]

Agriculture is applied Biology #teachagchat https://t.co/802aO3qehR

[C. Hackett @CHacket13400017]

I wonder if I can add some agriculture into my environmental science class? . #teachAgChat

[Corey Thomas @CoreyThomas24]

Q4 We need to eliminate the stigma of the "Ag circle" and include everyone in the conversation, discuss content and careers #TeachAgChat

[Corey Thomas @CoreyThomas24]

So important, urban food deserts are a major problem that urban ag can work towards #teachagchat https://t.co/gQd0O1DUFK

[Corey Thomas @CoreyThomas24]

I agree, educate is a better term to use, bringing others into the realm of ag knowledge #teachagchat https://t.co/ji5FMWDw1U

[Corey Thomas @CoreyThomas24]

@cahillms89 absolutely! Agroecosystems and agroecology can't be emphasized enough!
#teachagchat #agroecology

[Corey Thomas @CoreyThomas24]

Q3 Lack of transparency, public distrust, and environmental concerns. Opening the conversation with others #teachagchat

[Corey Thomas @CoreyThomas24]

#Q2 It's important to note that many people dont understand what falls under the category of "Ag", advocacy is very important #teachagchat

[Corey Thomas @CoreyThomas24]

@MsKahoe Yes absolutely! #teachagchat
