HungerU Launches College Tour to Share Ag Story

This year’s class of HungerU (Hunger You) ambassadors are getting ready to launch a tour of colleges around the country. The preparation work included a day of educational presentations in Washington, D.C. For those who don’t know, HungerU, a Farm Journal Foundation program, is an educational and advocacy platform designed to engage university student populations around the country. A central purpose of HungerU is to communicate outside the agricultural bubble with future influencers, including voters, consumers, and community leaders. The goal is to educate people on the central and necessary role that modern agriculture plays in creating affordable, wholesome food for everyone. This year’s college tour focuses on the Mid-Atlantic states. Just a few of the schools include George Washington University, Howard University, the University of Pennsylvania, and more. This year’s ambassador team combines expertise in areas such as nutrition, communications, gardening, and many more. Additionally, this year’s fall tour marks the third year of the National Corn Growers Association’s partnership in the program
