Why Healthy Soil Matters Farms can grow food in different ways. Some use chemical sprays to control weeds and bugs. These may work quickly, but over time they can damage the soil, pollute water, and harm living things that help plants grow. When soil loses its natural life, plants become weaker. This can affect the food we eat and the health of people who grow and consume it. Organic farming focuses on working with nature instead of against it. Farmers use compost, healthy so

How Freeze Drying Works Freeze drying is a way to remove water from food while keeping its shape, flavor, and nutrients. First, the food is frozen solid. Then it is placed in a vacuum chamber. Inside the vacuum, the ice in the food does something special—it turns directly from ice into water vapor, without melting first. This process is called sublimation. When the water is removed, the food becomes very light, dry, and crispy, but it still looks and tastes like the original
