THE 4‑H POLLINATOR
HABITAT PROGRAM
Both Corteva Agriscience and National 4‑H Council strongly believe that agriculture is a vital component to local communities across the U.S. and our global economy. The 4‑H Pollinator Habitat Program aims to equip tomorrow’s leaders with the tools and experiences needed to deepen their understanding of pollinator habitats and populations and the integral role pollinators play in food production.
“As we face a growing global population, today’s youth will play a critical role in future agriculture innovation. Corteva is proud to support the 4‑H Pollinator Habitat Program that helps introduce young people to the importance of pollinators and the role agriculture plays in our daily lives.”
—Jim Collins, CEO, Corteva Agriscience and National 4‑H Board Member
Corteva and 4‑H are committed to growing youth with the awareness, passion and skills to be responsible stewards of our planet by:
- Educating through curriculum and teen leadership. Teaching young people about the importance of pollinators and how to take action toward conserving them.
- Elevating through leaders, influencers and other stakeholders. Leading important discussions related to pollinators and environmental conservation, reinforcing sustainability messages.
- Engaging employees and communities. Joining Corteva employees and local communities in planned pollinator events.
