Journey 2050 is a virtual farming app with interactive activities and hands-on lessons that students will use to explore important concepts like: The simple planting of a seed starts a RIPPLE EFFECT that helps farm families, communities, countries and the world. Agriculture is the foundation for life. SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE balances economic, social and environmental factors for long term success. To FEED THE WORLD in 2050, we will need to grow over 60% more food on the same amount of land. Journey 2050 was developed by teachers, industry experts and professional game developers. It takes 7 hours to complete the program developed by Nutrien.

"A plant’s microbiome is made up of all the microorganisms living on or in its tissues and can drive numerous aspects of its health and development. Scientists think it could be possible to harness these microbial communities to maximize crop health and productivity. To explore this possibility, a team of researchers examined the effects of glutamic acid, an important amino acid naturally produced by plants, on their microbiomes. Applying glutamic acid at 2-week intervals drastically altered the microbiome composition of strawberry and tomato plants, notably increasing the abundance of _Streptomyces globisporus_ SP6C4, a key microbe known to negatively affect pathogens that attack these species. This increase in _Streptomyces globisporus_ SP6C4 was also associated with reductions in diseases of both the leaves and roots, including gray mold and Fusarium wilt..."

"Plant health is essential for food production, but plants are often affected by pathogens that can threaten plant performance including crop yield. Unfortunately, we can often only predict plant health when pathogens have infected plants and can no longer be controlled – and by then it is too late. To counteract pathogens, farmers often apply extensive amounts of pesticides throughout plant growth. But excessive pesticide use is costly and affects the biodiversity of the surrounding species. A recent study sought to find a way to predict plant health before planting. Researchers investigated different classes of soil microbes throughout the growth of tomato plants. They found that bacterial predators called protists were the best predictors of pathogen dynamics in growing plants..."
