FTSF Launches New Plant Breeding Curriculum

On March 14, the First the Seed Foundation, in partnership with Innovature, launched new curriculum that allows students to explore plant breeding innovation. This curriculum was made possible by donations from the seed industry.

The new curriculum, called Innovate, takes students in grades 1-8 on an exploration of the history and future of plant breeding. From fruits and vegetables, to turf and flowers, INNOVATE’s interactive modules look at the latest innovations, including CRISPR gene editing, and answer questions including: what is it, is it safe, and how will it impact the future of our planet, health and food?

Innovate can be accessed for free here. Please share this new opportunity with the students and teachers in your life! For more information about the benefit and safety of plant breeding, visit Innovature.com.
