NACTA Journal Special Issue 2019:
 Engaging Students in Global Agriculture

Higher education is called to develop students into global citizens that are prepared to investigate the world, recognize different perspectives, communicate ideas with diverse audiences and take action. This goal is included in higher education mission statements and carried forward in strategic plans. It’s become a part of general education requirements and is the focus of new centers and initiatives.

The special issue of the NACTA Journal is developed around the theme of engaging students in global agriculture in order to highlight the critical importance of integrating global learning into the agricultural sciences. Assembled into this issue are a collection of articles that begin with global learning in domestic contexts and then progress into global learning in international contexts. I hope that the NACTA community will find this special issue to be informative and useful as we strive to engage all students in global agriculture.

The annual NACTA conference will provide you with new teaching techniques, ideas and resources. It is also one of the best professional development activities for networking with other teaching professionals where the common discipline is “teaching.”
