Visitors to the Pasto Agricultural Museum during Penn State’s Ag Progress Days, Aug. 10-12, can explore the intersection of science and history. “During the show, we will connect our agricultural past with present-day practice and research around food, environment and renewable resources,” said the museum's curator, Rita Graef. “Programs at the museum will immerse visitors in thinking about our food and fiber systems and natural resources. The museum provides an opportunity to explore important issues facing agriculture and the environment in a historical context.”

The United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization marks October 16, with activities and resources to promote worldwide awareness and action for those who suffer from hunger and for the need to ensure healthy diets for all. Each and every one of us plays a role in our interconnected global food, fiber, and natural resource systems! Closer to home, our colleagues in the College of Agricultural Sciences at Penn State have shared an opportunity to get creative as we think about food and food security, with poetry. Your poetry! Anyone can write poetry and anyone may enter. Looking for a little help on how to write a poem? Deadline for entries is December 1, 2020. Winners will be announced at the #GLAG21 Global Teach Ag! Conference in February 2021.

I Remember Ag Progress Days: an Oral History Project, produced by the Friends of the Pasto Agricultural Museum, aims to ensure that the stories of the earliest Ag Progress Days event are captured, and that the memories of those involved not be lost. Interviews with volunteers, staff, and visitors will attempt to place the many facets of planning, organizing, and participating in such a large event in context so that their recollections can inform the past, enrich the present, and provide a glimpse of the future.
