Grades 6-12 (Booklet)
Discover the Science in Your Shopping Cart! This engaging booklet takes teachers and students on an eye-opening journey through the incredible science and innovation behind the food we eat, the products we use, and the agricultural systems that sustain us. With Americans consuming nearly a ton of food annually and spending less of their income on food than any other country, the booklet highlights how agricultural advancements have made our food safer, more affordable, and abundant.
From the groundbreaking Green Revolution to today’s precision agriculture tools, students will explore how scientists and farmers use biotechnology, GPS, drones, and more to feed a growing population while protecting the environment. Discover how 1% of U.S. farmers provide for 99% of the population, and investigate the critical role of agricultural careers and USDA-funded research.
