Today, Canadian Space Agency astronaut David Saint-Jacques and Fernand Proulx, Chief Operating Officer of the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation, unveiled the new travelling exhibition Space to Spoon, designed by the Canadian Space Agency and the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum.
Through videos and interactive experiences, visitors will see how satellite data, including those collected by RADARSAT-2, are used by farmers. They will also learn how those data support the development of sustainable agriculture practices and what impact they have on the food we eat.
Highlighting Canadian innovations in space and agriculture, Space to Spoon launches in Canada's 150th anniversary year. The exhibition will travel all over the country until 2020.
