The Agricultural Literacy and Advocacy Model consists of four steps: plan, develop, do and reflect. These modules introduce students to the concept of advocating to four key target audiences: peers, the community, elected officials and elementary students. Each accompanying experience guides students through the planning and execution of an activity and event.
