Where does grocery store produce come from? Who grew the fruits and vegetables? How did they get there? In this program students discover the natural, human, and capital resources in their home states and in regions of the United States. JA classroom volunteers show how resources are combined to create goods and services that individuals, businesses, and organizations provide to consumers.

Our Region explains the economic/business resources found in state and regional economies.
