The inclusion of beef in young people’s diets and hands-on culinary learning has the potential to influence both health and life skills, both of which could contribute to the mission of 4-H, North Dakota’s state and national Beef Checkoff Program priorities. Investing in young people by teaching the art and science of safely preparing beef in an outdoor setting can provide 4-H youth with life skills, food literacy, and lifestyle choices for healthy living and potentially, career development skills.
