What is one of the major components of a supplemental SAE?

A major component of a supplemental SAE (Supervised Agricultural Experience) is work experience on a school farm. This type of experience provides students with hands-on learning opportunities directly related to agriculture, where they can apply skills and knowledge gained in the classroom to real-world settings. Working on a school farm allows students to manage agricultural tasks and gain practical experience that will benefit them in future agricultural careers or education. This form of SAE is particularly effective for reinforcing theoretical concepts through practical application and often helps students develop a better understanding of agriculture as a whole.

The other options represent different types of experiences that can also be valuable but do not specifically characterize a supplemental SAE. Running a business often relates to entrepreneurship, which can be a standalone SAE. Nutrition education programs are typically more focused on health and education rather than direct agricultural experience, and community service projects, while important, do not directly tie back to the agricultural emphasis that a supplemental SAE aims to provide. The focus on work experience in a school farm aligns best with the practical learning approach of supplemental SAEs.
