About
MAITCA
Maine Agriculture in the Classroom Association
(MAITCA) is a grassroots program coordinated by the United States Department
of Agriculture. Our goal is to help students gain a greater awareness of
the role of agriculture in the economy and society so that they will become
citizens who support wise agricultural policies.
Agriculture in the Classroom is carried
out in each state according to state needs and interests, by individuals
representing farm organizations, agribusiness, education, and government.
MAITCA was established in 1987 as an independent,
non-profit organization with the participation of the Maine Department
of Agriculture, Department of Education and Maine Farm Bureau. Many Maine
agricultural businesses and organizations support the establishment and
operation of MAITCA.
MAITCA currently promotes the understanding
of the food and fiber system in Maine and the nation, by providing information
of agricultural concepts to teachers, students, and interested citizens.
Our Mission Statement
To promote the understanding of agriculture and natural resources
among students, educators, and the general public.
