CFA Comics
The
Colorado Foundation for
Agriculture is pleased to introduce the
new CFA Comics for middle school
students. These 16-page student
publications provide a fun way to
study agriculture and natural
resource topics.
Middle school students can look forward to discovering the Watershed Defenders and Major Ag — a lighthearted approach to some serious topics. The CFA is completing the development of a series that mixes text and super-hero characters in a comic book format. The Watershed Defenders address runoff pollution and present real-life strategies to empower everyone to be a hero. This issue was funded through a grant from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment—Water Quality Control Division.
Major Ag provides a series of agriculture vignettes, explaining where our food and fiber comes from while highlighting the everyday heroes who feed the world. These comics are in the review stages and are being pilot tested by educators. They will be ready for distribution to schools this fall. Like the Colorado Reader series, they will be provided free to any educator that requests them.
