Why Does Agriculture Matter?
With Angel Sparkman, Associate Professor of Agriculture Business
- 1 in 5 people worldwide are employed in agriculture.
- Everyday survival depends on agriculture– each person relies on what it produces multiple times a day.
- Agriculture’s story remains untold…It’s time to begin telling the story.
Angel moved to Sheridan in 2019, and quickly fell in love with the community. Her passion for the West began as a nine-year-old girl visiting national parks with her family, a love that has only deepened over the years. As a Specialist in Higher Education, a Master of Business Administration, and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, Angel brings a wealth of knowledge and experience. While her love for agriculture began in childhood, it has grown exponentially through her work teaching in the Sheridan College Agriculture Department.
