By participating in Ag. Futures, you will learn about entrepreneurship, leadership, and service while understanding how those all intersect to help build stronger communities around the world. You'll explore critical societal issues impacting food, agriculture, natural resources, and rural landscapes and analyze strategies to navigate these concerns and make a better world. 

Along the way, you'll participate in events that showcase the natural world around you, including trips to the Nebraska State Fair to see the best products in the state and new technology available and visits to local orchards and farms to understand the variety of management techniques utilized to efficiently provide high quality produce - both for-profit and non-profit settings.
