Exploring Sustainable Living
June
8th to 19th
We are what we eat...
but what is it we are eating?
Do you know how the food that you eat was produced? Does it matter?
Join us us at the Museum to explore sustainable farming in Nova Scotia
and learn about the role farmers play in keeping Nova Scotia’s environment
healthy. Play the AGame to test your knowledge about how farmers protect
the soil, water, air and biodiversity on their farms. Meet some hard-working
insects that help protect greenhouse crops and take home your own sunlight
conversion unit (a food plant!)
There are 9
exhibitors and lots of activity stations to explore and enjoy.
Meet and learn from the people who are working to put high quality food
into the marketplace. Join us and discover the new
face of agriculture!
