Before you know it, you wind up at the Space Farm, a spaceship full of scientists who aim to grow plants for food, for oxygen, and for their overall survival.
Sign up for Space Farm Club to learn about how technology and agriculture work hand-in-hand for all of us and learn how you can use agricultural practices, coding and technology to grow a plant from your very own home—I mean, spaceship!
