Unearthing the Future by Lexicon of Food and Produced by BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions

Delaware Valley University is excited to announce its participation in Unearthing the Future, a new branded content series presented by The Lexicon of Food and produced by BBC StoryWorks for series participants. The series meets farmers being supported to access and steward land of their own, educators championing seed-to-table learning, and food scientists using experimentation to revive and reimagine traditional practices. DelVal's strong presence in the agriculture industry and its unique Experience360 program for hands-on learning are what resulted in BBC selecting DelVal as one of only six organizations worldwide to feature in the series.

Dr. Jacqueline Ricotta, chair of the Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture spearheaded DelVal's participation in the project and took on a prominent role in the feature itself. In the six-minute video, she and recent graduate Charley Silfee '25 tell the story of DelVal and highlight the unqiue opportunities for hands-on learning future farmers have right on DelVal's campus.
