How will we feed the world population by the year 2050? The United Nations projects that by 2050 the world population will have risen to 9.7 billion people—more than 2 billion more people than today! To feed everyone, we will need a lot more food, which makes agricultural technology incredibly important. Agricultural technology is the use of science, engineering, and technology to make agriculture (farming) better. This can mean a wide range of things, including preventing plant diseases, gathering data to optimize crop yield (the amount of food you can grow on a piece of land), using resources like water more effectively, or even creating more nutritious versions of a vegetable!

Try one of the projects below to explore some of the solutions farmers, researchers, and engineers are trying around the world. Maybe you'll be working alongside them one day making sure we can feed everyone.

Design 'Y'er Genes Log in to add favorite More Menu Read More Lesson Plan Grade: 9th-12th This lesson introduces students to the relationships between chromosomes, genes, and DNA molecules. Using the example of a strawberry, it also provides activities that clearly show how changes in the DNA of an organism, either naturally or artificially, can cause changes.

Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits Apply concepts of statistics and probability to explain the variation and distribution of expressed traits in a population. From Prokaryotes to Eukaryotes: Solving Problems Using Plasmids Log in to add favorite More Menu Read More Lesson Plan Grade: 9th-12th This lesson compares and contrasts prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and examines the form and function of the plasmid found in prokaryotic cells. Students will then use these principles to simulate how a desirable gene can be isolated and inserted into a plasmid as one step in the process of creating a genetically modified organism (GMO).

Develop and use a model to illustrate the hierarchical organization of interacting systems that provide specific functions within multicellular organisms. 1
