These definitions primarily rely on the attainment and possession of knowledge (literacy) yet do not address an individual’s ability to write, read, and communicate (being literate) for learning about agriculture. The established literacy definitions in our field are similar to how Pense and Leising (2004) defined being literate in agriculture, “An agriculturally literate person would understand the food and fiber system in relation to its historical, economic, social, and environmental significance” (p. 86). Based on the established literacy definitions in our profession,agricultural education uses the terms literacy and literate interchangeably. The application of these efinitions as a construct for defining our field is an opportunity for investigation of the gap that exists for agricultural professionals.
