Long, long ago in a faraway land somewhere near modern day Turkey, Neolithic people did something that would change our lives forever... They started growing food alongside their settlements! Farming was born, changing our lives and the lives of the plants we grow forever.
Visit our activity to learn more about what happened to the plants we grow, how they've changed during the process of domestication and how that's affected what we eat today. Dive into the world of genetics and learn more about how we can tell how plants have changed over time. With plenty to discover through science-inspired games and small activities, you'll have the chance to explore our plantful past and wonder about our foodie future!
