A team led by three biological systems engineering faculty members – Jeyam Subbiah, Jenny Keshwani and Ashu Guru – has developed a video game, “AgPocalypse 2050,” that teaches middle and high school students about the decisions and processes that occur in agriculture and farming.
The game focuses on the corn, water, beef and ethanol systems in Nebraska, but Subbiah is hopeful that it can be expanded to other crops and livestock to match other states’ and countries’ agricultural practices. The game provides a scenario in which each player has a farm and must make decisions that affect the farm and its success.
