Manjit Misra, director of the Seed Science Center, commissioned a documentary film to inspire and engage the youth who will be tomorrow’s agricultural leaders, and to help the public better understand the opportunities and potential of agriculture and understand the many ways seeds impact them in their everyday lives. Parts of the film will debut at the World Food Prize in Des Moines this week and at venues in India.
