Core Content and Lesson Information

Project Food, Land and People is a non-profit organization created in 1988 to develop and distribute a national K-12 curriculum to complement existing agricultural, environmental and natural resource conservation education programs.

The goal of FLP is to provide educators with high quality, balanced and easily integrated classroom materials that deal with the complexity and interdependence of natural resources and people.

In Kentucky, teacher training and distribution of the curriculum will be facilitated by the KY Food, Land & People Partnership, which is a licensed affiliate for the state.
