Approach
Agricultural literacy is important for the public to understand the importance of agriculture in their everyday lives and its role in sustainability, climate change and food security. At the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum (CAFM) in Ottawa, ON, fostering knowledge and enthusiasm for agriculture is a key mission.
Currently, CAFM’s educational programming lacks an effective visual tool to explain the process, outcomes, and impact of symbiotic nitrogen fixation in legume plants. MicrobeaN addresses this need by supporting museum educators to deliver engaging lessons on agriculture and the environment to secondary school audiences. The application aims to help young learners understand the interactions within and between nature and humanity, and make better decisions regarding their health, the environment, and the future.
This Master's Research Project is currently in-progress. It is generously supported by the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, and the Vesalius Trust Research Grant (2023).
