From seed to supper
Farming brings soil, sunlight, water, living things and people together.

Picture in words: 1. Prepare: Farmers choose suitable crops and care for the soil.
2. Plant: Seeds need the right conditions to germinate; many need warmth, water and oxygen.
3. Grow: Plants need suitable light, water and nutrients. Some crops also depend on pollinators.
4. Harvest: People collect useful plant parts, then store, prepare or share the food.

One more wonder: Carrots are roots; lettuce is leaves; many fruits carry seeds.


Question: Which helper pollinates many crops?
