ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Agrogeology

Agrogeology is like a treasure hunt for farmers where they look for things buried in the ground that can help them grow better crops.

Imagine you are playing in a sandbox and you find a shiny rock. This shiny rock could also be found by a farmer in their field while digging. This shiny rock may contain nutrients that are good for plants. So, the farmer takes it to a lab and they test the rock to see what nutrients are in it.

Then the farmer can use this information to help their crops grow better. They may add certain kinds of rocks or soils to their farm, or adjust the way they grow their crops to make sure they have enough nutrients.

Agrogeology is like a fun puzzle game where farmers can find the best ways to help their crops grow big and strong!
