🌾 Agriculture has always been about adapting. Weather changes. Growing conditions change. Markets change. And what we learn about plants, animals and food production changes, too. That means agriculture is never standing still. Farmers, researchers, engineers and food producers are constantly adjusting, testing new ideas and finding better ways to respond to new challenges. That constant evolution is part of what makes agriculture such a fascinating subject for students. There’s science behind the decisions, innovation behind the solutions and a lot of problem-solving along the way. Bring the changing world of agriculture into your next lesson! 👇 wherethefoodcomesfrom.com/ed… #Agriculture #farming #STEM #FutureOfFarming #educationalcontent

🌱 What happens when new ideas change the way we grow food? Scientists and researchers are studying plants, animals, soil, water and growing systems to find better ways to produce food and respond to the challenges ahead. Technology can then turn some of those ideas into practical tools and new approaches to production. Through our partnerships with National Agriculture in the Classroom and USDA, Where The Food Comes From gives educators access to 65 episodes that bring those developments to life for students. See where research, science and innovation can take the conversation with your students! 👇 wherethefoodcomesfrom.com/ed… #Agriculture #farming #STEM #FutureOfFarming #Education @AITCtweets

🍑 This week on @WTFCF_TV, we're heading to the Peach State, to see how one family orchard turned farming into an experience people come back for year after year! S2.E07: Just Peachy 👇 youtu.be/gdjfWp-BZZk At Lane Southern Orchards in Fort Valley, Georgia, peaches have been growing since 1908. But the farm has grown into much more than an orchard. From planting pecan trees alongside peach trees to making peach bread, cobbler, preserves and salsa, Lane has found creative ways to build a business around what it grows. And then there's the agritourism. What started with travelers stopping to buy a box of peaches has grown into a destination attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. So what happens when a farm becomes part orchard, part bakery, part restaurant and part roadside destination? Watch now on our YouTube channel! 👇 youtu.be/gdjfWp-BZZk #wherethefoodcomesfrom #peaches #georgiagrown #agritourism #farminglife @GeorgiaGrown @GaDeptAg @LaneSouthern

🔬 What does the future of agriculture look like? Our Producer and Host Chip Carter has seen firsthand how quickly agriculture is changing, from new technology and growing systems to the research shaping how we produce food. Some of those innovations are already changing agriculture today. Others may shape how we feed the world tomorrow. Visit our Educators page to see how Where The Food Comes From gives students a look at that change and the people turning new ideas into real-world solutions. 👇 wherethefoodcomesfrom.com/ed… #Agriculture #farming #AgricultureEducation #FutureOfFarming #Education

🍎 What if the food students eat could become the starting point for a lesson? A trip to the grocery store can lead to questions about food production. A tomato can lead to plant science. A glass of milk can open a conversation about animal agriculture. A package of food can lead to questions about processing and transportation. Agriculture is woven into everyday life, which means there are countless ways to bring it into what students are already learning. @WTFCF_TV gives educators another way to help make those connections.

♻️ What if the grease clogging a city’s drains could help protect a farm instead? At @ChulalongkornU in Thailand, researcher Dr. Nattapong Tuntiwiwattanapun and his team developed Repids, a liquid potassium soap made from used cooking oil that can act as an organic insecticide. The idea grew from a very real problem, but the team saw an opportunity in the waste. Sometimes, what we throw away can be the starting point for something useful. See how a campus grease problem sparked an unexpected farming solution. 👇 wherethefoodcomesfrom.com/ho… #SustainableAgriculture #OrganicFarming #CircularEconomy #Agriculture #Sustainability

❓ Where does your food actually come from? It's a simple question. The answer can take students from a farm to a laboratory, from a greenhouse to a food processing facility, and into the science and technology that help get food to the table. That's the kind of question Where The Food Comes From can help educators bring into the classroom. Made available through partnerships with National Agriculture in the Classroom and USDA, the series gives educators access to 65 episodes covering agriculture, food production, science, research, technology and the people behind it all.

🐝 Think bees only need flowers? Think again. Researchers from the University of Georgia found something unexpected in lawns across the Southeast. Centipedegrass, a familiar turfgrass, was attracting bees and giving them access to something they need long after some spring flowers have faded. The finding raises a fascinating question about the landscapes we maintain every week: could the grass we usually think of as a chore actually be part of the food system keeping bees going? Find out what bees are finding in the grass. 👇 wherethefoodcomesfrom.com/ho… #Bees #Pollinators #farming #agriculture #foodsupply @UGA_CollegeofAg

🧺 This week on @WTFCF_TV, we're going back nearly 300 years to a South Carolina family farm where some things have changed very little! S1.E03: Farming Like It's 1699 👇 youtu.be/SW-j_gqROo0 The Bradford family has been farming the same land for generations, growing heirloom crops from seeds passed down through the family. But one story stands out: the Bradford watermelon, a variety that disappeared from commercial agriculture in the early 1900s but survived because the Bradford family never stopped growing it. Nat Bradford is now the steward of those seeds, preserving not just a watermelon, but a piece of agricultural history. From family-grown okra and giant watermelons to ancient grains and crops tied to the Carolinas' past, this is a look at what happens when farmers carry the lessons of the past into the future. And yes, that Bradford watermelon is every bit as good as it looks. 🍉 Watch now on our YouTube channel! 👇 youtu.be/SW-j_gqROo0 #tvshow #Agriculture #FarmLife #HeirloomSeeds #familyfarm @SCDAgriculture @Certified_SC

🍯 What if mānuka honey’s antimicrobial power isn’t coming from just one thing? Researchers at @AstonUniversity in England tested mānuka honeys with different UMF ratings against bacteria that can cause respiratory infections. Higher UMF honey showed stronger antimicrobial activity, but here’s the twist: lab made versions with the same sugar and methylglyoxal, or MGO, could not match the honey’s effect. That suggests other bioactive compounds, or interactions between them, are doing more of the work than scientists once thought. Could this help shape future honey based antimicrobial products?

🐶 That innocent little bite from your plate could be a treat or a serious health risk for your pup. Many fruits and vegetables are perfectly safe for dogs, and apples, blueberries, carrots and green beans can offer vitamins, minerals and fiber. But grapes, onions, avocado and cherries are a different story, with some containing compounds or parts that can be dangerous or even fatal. The lesson? A healthy human snack isn't automatically a healthy dog snack. Knowing what belongs in the bowl can make sharing safer.

⚡️ That can of “energy” may be doing more to your cardiovascular system than you realize. Caffeine can raise alertness by blocking the brain’s signals to rest, but the story doesn’t stop there. Research has found energy drinks can raise blood pressure and alter the heart’s electrical activity. Even more surprising, one large energy drink sharply reduced blood vessels’ ability to relax in healthy young adults within 90 minutes. You may feel the boost, but what else is happening beneath the surface? Read the full story here. 👇 wherethefoodcomesfrom.com/no… #EnergyDrinks #HeartHealth #Caffeine #Health #nutrition
