Previous studies on global food security have indicated that in order to sustain the global population by the year 2050, a significant increase in food production will be needed. Consequently, it is crucial that today’s students are educated to realize this increasing food demand. One of the problems is that currently too few students seem to be interested in pursuing studies in the fields of agriculture and related sciences. By exploring three research questions, this study assesses the extent to which high school students in each of the 67 counties in the U.S. state of Alabama are being exposed to agricultural-related science courses. For the purposes of this assessment, the high schools were grouped by zones—Northern, Central, Southern and the Black Belt. Relevant high school data, including courses offered, were compiled from Alabama’s Department of Education 2017 directory. Microsoft Excel and SPSS software were used to analyze the data. The findings of this study demonstrated that there are spatial differences in agriculture-related courses offered in high schools in Alabama’s Northern, Central and Southern regions. Future research should further investigate what percentage of high school students actually choose agriculture or related disciplines as their professional career paths after graduating from high school.

Biological education forms a key part of childrens' education, enabling them to better understand life on Earth and related science. Some even consider biological education to contribute to the development of an individual's personality. In the context of global warming and climate change, it has arguably never been more important that individuals understand humanity's role in preserving life on earth. In 2008 and 2012, educational reforms in Japan made certain biological subjects compulsory for junior high school education. However, a lack of clearly defined framework meant a lack of a definitive and effective means of teaching these topics across the county. Dr Yuji Araki, Faculty of Education, Saitama University, Japan, is working with academic experts in a range of biological fields, along with teachers and educational staff members, to clarify the technical facts, concepts and abilities that students need to acquire at each stage of their education. This will enable Araki and his team to construct a framework that identifies what should be taught, the targets for these teachings and how these lessons should be taught. A key focus is on creating a framework for teachers that upholds the principles behind constructed subject content theory and ensures schoolchildren gain a real agricultural education.
