Education resources related to sustainability will include lesson sets and training for educators and learning modules for students. Content will cover topics such as climate change, water conservation, soil health, waste management and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
“The work done by the FFA National Organization makes a significant difference to its members, and its impact goes beyond students, as the agriculture industry touches nearly every industry and every neighborhood,” said Jenny Fouracre-Petko. , spokesperson for Domino. “We know that without the farmers, we wouldn’t have pizza to serve. Supporting the future of the agriculture industry is a key part of Domino’s stewardship strategy.

Domino’s believes advancements in agriculture will be key to achieving these targets ambitious and critical.
“Domino’s is focused on promoting the long-term resilience of farmers through its relationships with groups like the Alliance for Dairy Sustainability and, of course, FFA. We can’t wait to see what the next five years will look like, not just for Domino’s and FFA, but for the agricultural industry as a whole,” said Fouracre-Petko.
