From Farm to Table

Grades 9-12.

A fun and fascinating program for anyone who eats! Take a comprehensive look at modern agriculture and learn the where, why, and how. From the Neolithic Revolution and the dawn of farming to the rise of industrial agriculture and the Green Revolution, this DVD looks at the whole process of food production and distribution. Find out where different ingredients come from, how they’re grown and harvested, how they’re stored, shipped, and processed, and how they finally make their way to your local restaurant or grocery store! Environmental problems, migrant workers, and irradiation are a few of the issues addressed. Learn the truth behind the myth of the family farm, how many people the average farmer can feed (and how that number has changed), and which state produces an amazing 90% of the tomatoes used for processing in the U.S. 21 minutes.
