The reluctance of farmers to adopt new agricultural<br \/>\npractices was circumvented by introducing youth, who were more open to new ideas, to<br \/>\ninnovative farming methods that they would then bring back to the adults in their<br \/>\ncommunities. Today 4-H is dedicated to youth development in communities nationwide.<br \/>\nWith a focus on STEM advancement, 4-H offers in and out of school programs, clubs, and<br \/>\ncamps for youth ages 5 to 19. With roots in agriculture and animal science, 4-H is a<br \/>\nnatural fit for aquaculture advancement programs.<\/p>\n<p>Through an innovative <a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/hancock\/4h\/aquaculture-internship\/\">summer internship program<\/a> developed by the University of Maine\u2019s<br \/>\nCenter for Cooperative Aquaculture Research and Hancock County Cooperative Extension<br \/>\n4-H Youth Development Program, high school students were introduced to the role of<br \/>\nsustainable aquaculture in the global food system. <a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/cooperative-aquaculture\/2019\/09\/11\/meet-the-4-h-ccar-interns\/\">The group of seven students<\/a> formed a 4-<br \/>\nH club with the purpose of demonstrating sustainable aquaculture to the public at a local<br \/>\nagricultural fair through a 4-H exhibit.<\/p>\n<p>The students spent their summer, over an eight-week timeframe, at the <a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/cooperative-aquaculture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Center for Cooperative Aquaculture Research <\/a>(CCAR), in Franklin, Maine. While at the CCAR, students<br \/>\nwere responsible for the production of 165 yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi). Emphasis<br \/>\nwas placed on the development of skills needed to rear fish and run and maintain a<br \/>\nrecirculating aquaculture system. In addition, participants learned about the history of<br \/>\naquaculture, engineering, and business.<\/p>\n<p>We believe this may be the first time a farmed fish has been shown as part of a 4-H<br \/>\nprogram at a rural agricultural fair. By exhibiting aquacultured products alongside<br \/>\ntraditionally farmed crops, it is our hope that one day farmed fish will be as socially<br \/>\naccepted as farmed beef, pork, and chicken.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/cooperative-aquaculture\/2019\/09\/11\/meet-the-4-h-ccar-interns\/?fbclid=IwAR1Y8zTRYPD9zFHUkYT1oFbcIMyzS4uvpXvTXP9v86NymENjNsjIJBm7HeY\">Meet the 4-H\/CCAR Aquaculture Interns<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Funding for this project was provided by Maine EPSCoR\/SEANET<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4-H began at the end of the 19th century as a way to bring new agricultural techniques to farmers through rural youth programs.
