Discover how botany connects us to the food we eat and the world we share
Have you ever looked at a seed and imagined the plant it will become? From the carrots on our plates to the towering trees in agroforestry, plants are nature’s quiet superheroes. Botany—the science of plants—helps us unlock their amazing secrets.
Plants Power Our Planet
Every breath we take is thanks to plants! Through photosynthesis, plants turn sunlight into energy, releasing the oxygen we need to breathe. They also store carbon, clean our water, and give homes to countless insects, birds, and animals. Without plants, there would be no farms, no gardens, and no delicious meals.
Food Starts with Botany
Every fruit, vegetable, grain, and even chocolate bar begins as a plant. Farmers and scientists use botany to understand how seeds sprout, how roots absorb water, and how flowers become fruits. This knowledge helps them grow healthier crops and feed communities around the world.
