What is the focus of the supervised agricultural experience (SAE) program?

The supervised agricultural experience (SAE) program is centered around hands-on learning activities in agriculture, allowing students to apply their knowledge and skills in real-world settings. This practical approach enables individuals to gain valuable experience related to their agricultural interests or career goals. Through SAE, students engage in activities such as managing livestock, growing crops, or conducting agricultural research, all of which contribute to their understanding of agricultural practices and the industry.

Other options, while related to agriculture, do not capture the essence of the SAE program. Theoretical research in agriculture focuses on academic study and research rather than the practical application of skills. Policy-making in agricultural legislation pertains to the governance and regulation of agriculture but does not involve direct, hands-on experience. Culinary training for chefs, though related to food and agriculture, is specific to cooking and food preparation rather than the broader agricultural experiences that the SAE program fosters.
