Society is familiar with the concepts of DNA and even GMOs, but due to mis- and disinformation, may have a negative attitude towards them. Mass appeal has continued to evade the study of genomics, especially for high school and college students, and that\u2019s partly because it\u2019s considered a health sector related expertise, which is not entirely accurate.

Even so, traditional agriculture isn\u2019t going anywhere but it could definitely use the helping hand of science for increased sustainability.<\/p><p>This is where Ontario Genomics comes in, thanks to help from AgScape. We\u2019ve joined forces to create <em>Genomics in Agriculture<\/em> educational content for grade 7-12 teachers across the province and country. The idea is to get kids of all ages comfortable with the concepts of genomics and to see and be inspired by all the ways it impacts life, including in the world of agriculture.<\/p><p>Building on that, AgScape\u2019s thinkAg Career Competitions are for high school students and meant to show them all the different jobs that are available in the agriculture sector. Ontario Genomics has taken part in multiple thinkAg events over the past two year. Since there\u2019s a waitlist for this program, it\u2019s clearly hitting the mark with students!<\/p><p>To date, our <em>Genomics is Agriculture <\/em>resources have been used by over 600 Ontario teachers, representing over 25,000 student engagements, while our work at thinkAg Career Competitions have included over 1,000 direct student engagement.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-6854367 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6854367\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-269d4d6\" data-id=\"269d4d6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7266187 elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7266187\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What's next:<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-75482e4\" data-id=\"75482e4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aae3c95 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"aae3c95\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Since biomanufacturing will continue to grow as the world looks for smarter and less harmful ways of producing food and products, Ontario Genomics is working with Lambton College and Loyalist College to train people for jobs of the future. The quickest way to do that is to get students acquainted with the science in an accessible and hands-on way. Through e-Bits and micro-credential courses, students can learn how to become fermentation technicians which can lead to a new career path for people who aren\u2019t sure what to do or who want to change careers.<\/p><p>To increase our accessibility to Ontario\u2019s French speaking community, we\u2019re currently working on French language translations for all the AgScape resources and Ontario Genomics\u2019 wasteCANcreate program will also be featured on French language educational television channel TFO in a series dedicated to explaining the origins of food.
