What is your 4-H club up to?

Well… the 4-Hers at Cunupia Government Primary School 4H Club (Forever Green Gardens) share their story.

Agriculture has been the foundation of human civilization for centuries. From ancient practices to sophisticated modern farming technologies, agriculture remains the fundamental aspect of our daily lives. Agriculture gives us food and supports economies, cultures, and the environment. It is important to understand the importance of agriculture as it helps us appreciate its system that sustains life globally. The sector for food security is crucial as it directly impacts the availability and affordability of food. Innovations help increase yields, reduce waste, and minimize environmental impacts.

Sustainability is an important factor in agriculture. Challenges such as climate change, environmental degradation, and resource depletion, sustainable practices are important to guarantee that agriculture can meet the needs of future generations. This requires adopting ways to protect soil health, conserve water, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The mission of the Cunupia Government Primary School 4H Club (Forever Green Gardens) is to empower the pupils with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed for agriculture and business. The club encourages its members to develop an interest in agriculture and provides an opportunity for pupils to be team players, and build communication and presentation skills. Forever Green Gardens aims to make pupils interested in agriculture and business, to train students how to manage a farm, and to acquaint pupils with different methods of farming.  By educating the future generation about the significance of agriculture, Forever Green Gardens strive to build a future where agriculture continues to thrive and contribute positively to the community.

Agriculture is essential to economic systems, cultural history, and environmental sustainability. It is much more than just a way to produce food. Those who comprehend and embrace this vital sector are better able to recognize how intertwined everything is and how each individual may contribute to the development of a vibrant and sustainable global community.
