Mission: Fast Food Farm addresses the issue of educating young people on the importance of agriculture by involving them in the food growing process from start to finish. Penn State conducted a survey which indicated that involving youth directly in the food system process will be the most effective educational tool in understanding the interconnections among food, agriculture and natural resources. FFF, Inc. seeks to address this issue by providing the opportunity for young people to understand the workings of the food system as it relates to environmental science, social studies, agriculture, health and nutrition. Through FFF, Inc. this learning process will take place within and beyond the classroom.
