“Long-standing partnerships like this are essential to ensuring students and educators continue to have access to accurate, balanced, and engaging agriculture education,” Shymko said. “SaskOilseeds has been a tremendous champion of agricultural literacy in Saskatchewan for many years. Their continued investment will help us meet growing demand from classrooms across the province while creating meaningful opportunities for students to better understand modern agriculture and the important role oilseeds play in our economy, food systems, and communities.” 

The renewed sponsorship will support AITC-SK’s efforts to expand inquiry-based programming and learning experiences that connect students and teachers to food systems, sustainability and modern agriculture. 

Lynn Weaver, market development manager with SaskOilseeds, said the organization will continue supporting AITC-SK and its work to connect youth with agriculture. 

“Investing in agricultural literacy helps build informed consumers, future leaders, and stronger connections between students and the farmers who grow their food. We are excited to continue working alongside AITC-SK to help inspire the next generation,” Weaver said.
