ABOUT STUDENTS FOR ECO EDUCATION AND AGRICULTURE (SEEAG)

SEEAG’s mission is to educate students and the greater community about the farm origins of food
and agriculture’s contribution to our nutritional well-being through experiential, STEM-based learning.

What's Between Farm and Table?

We've all heard the phrase "farm-to-table," but what really happens between the dashes?

The connection between the farm and the table is often overlooked. Behind the food we eat is a network of people, land, innovation, stewardship, and community that makes it all possible. As the distance between where food is grown and where it is consumed continues to grow, so does the need to strengthen these connections.

SEEAG creates opportunities for people to understand where their food comes from, connect with the people and places behind it, and develop a deeper appreciation for the resources, knowledge, and care required to grow it. These connections help people better understand the agricultural systems that sustain our communities and create opportunities for future generations to see the possibilities within agriculture and envision their own role in its future.

Through hands-on educational experiences, farm tours, career exploration programs, and community engagement, SEEAG brings people closer to agriculture and to one another. We connect people to people, land, food, and the systems that sustain us, turning the space between farm and table into opportunities for understanding, collaboration, and stewardship.

Opening Eyes to Agriculture Since 2008

At Students for Eco-Education and Agriculture (SEEAG) we believe that every student and person deserves the opportunity to understand where their food comes from, how it is grown, and how farming impacts our health, communities, and environment. Since 2008, SEEAG has provided 100% free, hands-on agricultural education to tens of thousands of students and families throughout Ventura, Santa Barbara, and surrounding counties.

Our programs help open the doors of working farms, bring classroom learning to life outdoors, and help students and community members make meaningful connections between soil, water, plants, food systems, and personal well-being.
