The best way to understand Agriculture is to actually get into it. I suggest school children to start doing it at school and repeat it at home. The produce can be sold or distributed at carnivals or amongst family and friends. This has the additional benefit of teaching and experiencing Accounting and Marketing . I am a strong advocate for Carnivals at schools as both educational and providing experience in a cooperative milieu. Getting involved in a Caenival is an educative experience and often teaches children initiative, leadership, accounting and marketing. Amongst many other things. Though these maybe at a basic level, they are enough to set a spark and lead the child to think at a long term and possible future career. It also helps the child bring out hidden talents.  A point about learning about Agriculture is to empathize with farmers and better understand empathy too.

Ask anyone about wealth and they will mostly talk about a nice house, gold ,money, shares and other such things. They can all be different forms of wealth but the first according to me would be health. Without health you can have all the money but cannot enjoy it. You can aspire to drive a Lamborghini but cannot enjoy it.bI would add learning as a form of wealth. Most people think of education as degrees but I see the knowledge behind it and experience is the highest form of Learning. This is why learning is something I see as more complete than education. Therefore for me, health and learning are the first and best forms of wealth . Learning is something you never lose and can grow more as you share more.

One cannot learn everything from their own experience since nobody gets the complete experience. While experience is the best teacher, it is also wise to learn from others’ experience and it can come from reading, listening to knowledgeable people  that includes experienced people , Teachers or Mentors That is why an experienced person scores over fresh graduates.  The value of studying in a good institution is also because of this as the Teachers will tend to have greater knowledge/experience, relate anecdotes and inspire learning.  A lot of learning can come from reading as one gets to know from others experience, knowledge and perspectives. My view is reading helps ones imagination too
