The Secondary Education, Two-Year Post-Secondary Education, and Agriculture in the K-12 Classroom Challenge Grants (SPECA) program seeks to 1) promote and strengthen secondary education and two-year post-secondary education in the food and agriculture sciences; 2) help ensure the existence of a workforce in the United States that's qualified to serve the food and agriculture sciences system; and 3) promote complementary and synergistic linkages among secondary, two-year post-secondary, and higher education programs in the food and agriculture sciences in order to advance excellence in education and encourage more young Americans to pursue and complete a baccalaureate or higher degree in the food and agriculture sciences.
