Kraft Foods has planted seed packages in 4 million boxes of Triscuit crackers as a way to promote the crackers and encourage home farming. In addition to the Triscuit seed packs, Triscuit has teamed up with Urban Farming, a non-profit organization, to create a home farming website with information about growing vegetables at home, a crop guide, community forums, and other resources.
Triscuit seed packs are just one part of Triscuit’s pledge to create 50 community-based home farms during 2010.
