SDG-4: Quality Education
Advancing Quality Education for a Sustainable Future In today’s fast-evolving world, education has never been more vital in preparing youth and adults for meaningful careers, particularly in the agricultural sector, where sustainable practices are shaping the future of food and natural resources. At Valent, we are deeply committed to advancing Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education, by investing in partnerships and programs that equip students with the skills they need for a sustainable future in agriculture. Cultivating Skills for the Next Generation To support Target 4.4 of SDG 4—substantially increasing the number of youth and adults with skills for decent work and entrepreneurship—we have dedicated our resources to programs that foster relevant, hands-on agricultural education. These initiatives empower students with critical technical and vocational skills and introduce them to careers that contribute to sustainable development.
Our Longstanding Partnership with National FFA For over 25 years, Valent has proudly partnered with the National FFA Organization, focusing on resources that enable students to grasp the importance of sustainability in agriculture. In 2023, our Sustainability in Agriculture Lesson Series engage d over 55,000 FFA students, providing classroom instruction on sustainable practices across the Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources Value Chain. This impactful lesson series, now also available in Spanish, has reached 365,520 students, providing sustainability learning opportunities to FFA membership since it was launched in 2020. In addition, we expanded our support for FFA’s AgExplorer Program , an ag-focused career exploration tool. Through this initiative, students gain insights into diverse agricultural careers through resources like our Day-in-the- Life video series—highlighting Valent’s commitment to sustainable practices and the wide-ranging possibilities in the ag industry. This immersive experience is equipping young leaders with knowledge and inspiring them to envision a career path where they can contribute to a sustainable world.
