Organizations

Long ago, the letters “FFA” stood for Future Farmers of America, but agriculture, food, and natural
resources are so much more than production farming. FFA members are future scientists,
communicators, business leaders, entrepreneurs, educators, and so much more. Today, the National
FFA Organization is committed to the individual student, providing a path to achievement in premier
leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural, food, and natural resources
education.

FFA continues to help the next generation rise up to meet those challenges by helping its members
develop their own unique talents and explore their interests in a broad range of agricultural, food, and
natural resources career pathways. So today, we are still Future Farmers, but we are Future
Scientists, Future Environmentalists, Future Veterinarians, Future Teachers, and Future Global
Problems Solvers too.

FFA is a dynamic youth organization that changes lives and prepares members for premier
leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education. FFA develops
members’ potential and helps them discover their talent through hands-on experiences, which give
members the tools to achieve real-world success. Members are future chemists, veterinarians,
government officials, entrepreneurs, bankers, international business leaders, teachers, and premier
professionals in many career fields.
