  • Person walking by a row of medium sized metal vats. Some are open. Caption: Closely associated with the production of bread making

    Microorganisms affect everyone. Some are helpful, while others are harmful. Explores pathogenic microorganisms that can cause diseases like sore throats, influenza, tuberculosis, and HIV; decomposer microorganisms that decay rotting plant and animal matter, returning important nutrients back into the soil; and microorganisms that are also being used in the fuel industry to develop new nonpetroleum based products. Overviews food spoilage microorganisms such as mold that can ruin stored food. Explains other bacteria and yeasts are vital to the production of food and drinks like yogurt and bread, along with beer and wine. Examines where they come from and some examples of positive uses relating to many foods we eat.

  • Illustration of a grazing cow. Greetings from the farm… Caption: (man) Like many foods,

    Animals and plants provide the food supply for humans. Consumers have many choices regarding how they obtain their food. Some may choose to eat organic. Some decide to source their food locally. Others take a hard look at the additives and preservatives in foods. Some choose to garden. Part of the "Human Nutrition" series.

  • Dense forest of evergreen trees. Caption: sooner than saplings grown outdoors

    European farmers no longer import some of their food because they have high efficiency farms and a food surplus. Because of this, some farmland has been set aside for nonfood crops, such as timber, oil-producing seeds, sports grasses, and plants and animals from which clothes are made. This British production shares creative and innovative uses of land formerly kept only for food crops.

  • Diagram of foods containing Sucrose providing a combination of fructose and glucose or containing Lactose providing galactose and glucose after being processed by the liver. Caption: are also broken down and converted into glucose

    In this program, students learn about the digestive process. The human digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract plus the tongue, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. Digestion involves the breakdown of food into smaller and smaller components. These small components are absorbed and assimilated into the body. Part of the "Human Nutrition" series.
