Food for America

The main purpose of the Food for America program is to provide an organized approach to help teachers and FFA members communicate and promote pork as a nutrituous and healthy food product.

Each year FFA chapters apply through the Oklahoma FFA Association. (An application can be found here.) The Oklahoma Pork Council supports the entire Food For America program; however, this application should emphasize specific pork promotion activities.
