Successful school campaign days: Farmers inspire Lower Austria's youth

The initiative of the farmers of Lower Austria will continue in the coming school year 2024/25, with a record of participants. These programs aim to bring students of the first and second classes closer to everyday life and diversity of agriculture. It is a proven measure that not only conveys knowledge, but also promotes awareness of regional products and sustainable practices.

In the school campaign days, the children are given the opportunity to experience different agricultural professions and activities up close. Participation on these campaign days has increased steadily in recent years, which indicates a growing interest in agriculture and the associated topics. The farmers attach particular importance to conveying the children's appreciation for food and the importance of agriculture in our society.

Why it is important

The connection between school education and agriculture is becoming increasingly important today. In view of environmental issues and growing awareness of sustainable practices, it is crucial that children develop an understanding of these topics at a young age. The success of the school campaign days shows that such education initiatives are very well received and manages to inspire children for agriculture.

The demand for programs that impart the importance of environmentally conscious practices will probably continue to increase in the next few years. This could cause more and more schools and educational institutions in the region to include similar programs in their curriculum. Portraits of agricultural companies and their activities during these days could also give the children a valuable insight into potential future professional fields.
