Nova Scotia students will learn more about where their food comes from during this Canadian Agriculture Literacy Month. Fifty volunteers will visit Grade 3 classes after March Break to read from a newspaper insert about this year’s theme: Our Food, Our Story. Additional Farm Credit Canada funding has allowed this year’s event to expand to a full month, from a week.
