The Space to Spoon exhibit is a hands-on experience, with stunning graphics and interactive elements for visitors of all ages. The science, technology, and innovation that transform satellite images into agricultural applications are showcased in a way that encourages informal science learning among school groups as well as general audiences. Space to Spoon demonstrates how space technology benefits Canadian farmers and sustainable agriculture.
