Before the Plate

Before the Plate (1 hr 30 min) attempts to close the gap in perception between the urban consumer and farming in Canada. Modern consumers are increasingly interested in where and how their food gets to them, but accurate information isn’t always easy to come by and often feels out of reach. Before the Plate follows young farmers and industry experts in order to show the general population what a modern Canadian farm operation looks like, and answer the most pressing questions consumers have about their food.

Throughout this experiment students can monitor the pots daily and watch for the seedlings to emerge. They can observe, measure and graph the rate of growth. Students will try to determine which plants are growing in each pot by observing the length of time to sprout, the size of the plant and comparing the plants to photos on the internet. Here is a link for the Mystery Seed Videos(ENG & FR) that NS Department of Agriculture and AITC-NS have given us permission to use.
