Inspiring the next generation at our breeding station in Jordan

At Bakker Brothers, we believe it’s never too early to spark curiosity about vegetables and plant breeding. That’s why we were excited to welcome a group of 30 enthusiastic children to our breeding station in Jordan for a fun and educational visit.

During their time on-site, the children had the opportunity to explore our trial fields, discover the many crops we grow, and learn more about what it means to work in vegetable breeding. With a guided tour and interactive moments, they got a firsthand look at how vegetables are developed and selected — and how important this is for the future of global food production.

By engaging with young minds, we hope to create awareness and plant a seed of interest in agriculture, healthy eating, and maybe even future careers in the seed sector. Because today's curiosity might just grow into tomorrow's innovation.
