Welcoming FFA participants to campus for the 96th Annual Minnesota State FFA Convention

The College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences (CFANS) is proud to welcome participants of the 96th annual Minnesota State FFA Convention to the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus! We’re excited to host thousands of passionate young leaders from across the state who are driven by a love of agriculture, science, and service. This is a time to connect, grow, and be inspired by what’s possible when you follow your passion, and CFANS is thrilled to be part of your journey.

We invite you to join us on Monday for Discover the Scientist Within, a hands-on session where you can explore the many career pathways CFANS has to offer, from agricultural education to environmental science and beyond. Whether you're dreaming of becoming a researcher, educator, conservationist, or innovator, there’s a place for you here. Check out this warm welcome from Noah Erickson, Agricultural Education major and former Minnesota FFA state officer, as he shares his enthusiasm for the convention and the future of agriculture: Watch Noah's welcome video.
