Lend a Helping Farm Hand

About the course

Help a pretend farmer solve real-world farming challenges.

Meet Farmer Bastian. He’s a (sort-of) make-believe farmer in the pretend town of Cloverville—and he needs your help. His farm faces a variety of challenges, from climate change and drought, to contaminated local water sources and the basic needs a farmer has to grow and sell his crops. In these activities, you’ll help him tackle and solve these challenges facing Farmer Bastian—and real farmers all around the world.
