There's always food growing somewhere in America. That's part of the real miracle of nature. Fruits and veggies are in full swing in Florida in the coldest months of the year ? we start this episode in the Everglades in early February with our friends from L&M Farms. Then we roll up to Georgia in spring to visit Baker Farms, one of the largest growers of greens anywhere. Then we head for North Carolina in July to follow the crop as it continues marching north before starting all over again in Florida the next year.
Have you ever wondered how we're going to grow food on the moon? Or Mars? Or just find ways to reduce food miles and food waste here at home? All while producing more food with less land, less water and closer to the communities where we live and work? High-tech greenhouses are looking like the answer. Just a few acres of greenhouse space can produce more food than an entire conventional farm, with a fraction of the water and other inputs. We visited Red Sun Farm's Dublin, VA showcase to take a look at where farming is heading next.

E Ho'omau! (To preserve; to learn from the past and perpetuate the good) is a curriculum development project funded under the Native Hawaiian Education Program of the U.S. Department of Education (http: //www.ed.gov/programs/nathawaiian/index.html). It begins with the creation of three high quality animated versions of traditional Hawaiian legends, designed to be engaging and culturally appropriate. These are complemented by standards-based written materials and teacher training activities to strengthen language arts and science achievement for Native Hawaiian 4th graders. E Ho'omau! addresses the need to improve the literacy skills of students of Hawaiian ancestry by integrating evidence-based educational approaches with a visually-rich learning system based on Hawaiian legends. The idea is to elevate student motivation and enhance self-confidence while providing meaningful learning opportunities.
