What type of events do FFA members participate in?

FFA members participate in Career Development Events (CDEs), which are competitive events designed to build skills and knowledge relevant to various agricultural fields. These events allow students to apply their classroom learning in real-world situations, often focusing on areas such as public speaking, livestock evaluation, agricultural mechanics, and environmental science. By engaging in CDEs, members enhance their leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities while exploring potential career paths within the agricultural industry.

The other options, while valuable activities in their own right, do not align with the core mission and activities of FFA. Table tennis tournaments are not related to agricultural education. Cultural exchange programs, although beneficial for fostering global awareness, are not a primary focus of FFA. Religious retreats do not pertain to the agricultural education and leadership development that FFA emphasizes.
