The Story of Seeds: From Breeding to Eating
Season 5
Episode 3
Walk into the produce section of the grocery store and you'll see big, beautiful heads of broccoli. Why are store bought and home grown fruits and vegetable so different? Learn about the four different target markets for vegetable breeders: commercial farmers, home growers, farmer's market farmers, and the growers who grow the seedlings that we buy in a nursery.
