Comic Contest for Seeds in Space

28 March 2023

How will cosmic radiation and the harsh conditions of space help us grow better crops for global food security on Earth?

The IAEA and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) are running an experiment to find out, and we need your help to tell the story.

Through traditional or digital drawings, we want you to depict the seeds in space journey, to inspire people about how nuclear science is tackling climate change, and the potential benefits of space science for climate change adaptation and food security on earth.
