Where Food Comes From

Divider Line

Tomato Time #1

TEACH 356

Description

From field grown to heirloom to hothouse to custom-engineered. Tomatoes are America's second-favorite vegetable (even though they're technically a fruit, a berry in fact) behind only King Potato. But American growers are under intense pressure from foreign competitors. How will they survive? We'll wrap up with a scientist who has developed a new tomato variety that might just provide that answer.
