Program 1: History of Early Food and Agricultural Science
The first program presents an overview of the milestones on the journey from working the land by hand to personalized nutrition. It begins with the history of science and technology in American agriculture, moving on to the mechanization of farming, and to the understanding of food composition and nutrition. The program ends with an overview of food safety, genomics, and food systems. 
FAS-001 $27.50/yr
Program 2: Agriculture's Information Revolution
Program two examines how 21st century information technologies are revolutionizing agriculture. Starting with one of the oldest natural sciences, the cultivation of wild plants and domestication of wild animals, the program delves into several agricultural revolutions, including information technology. It closes with the upcoming precision and smart agricultural revolution.
FAS-002 $27.50/yr
Program 3: Genomics, Genetic Engineering and Genome Editing
Program three looks at the controversial subject popularly known as GMOs or genetically modified organisms and examines the scientific truth of GMOs.  It also looks at potential answers to the problem of the ever-growing population of the planet. From hybridization, to genomics and genetic engineering, this program provides a comprehensive overview.
