Not every agriculture student lives on a farm. That should not keep students from completing a meaningful Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE).

This free resource gives students and teachers ten project ideas that connect agriculture to school gardens, containers, community gardens, farmers markets, food access, entrepreneurship, research, and service-learning.

Use these ideas for brainstorming, bell ringers, SAE planning, FFA project conversations, career exploration, or as a preview before assigning a full SAE project.

Want the full project planning system? The complete No Farm Required: Urban Agriculture SAE Starter Kit includes a full student workbook, teacher guide, project proposal templates, weekly logs, evidence trackers, data and entrepreneurship pages, service-learning tracker, rubrics, grading checklist, pacing options, and final presentation planner.
